Apex VS-5RS 18x10.5 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET44 / 71.6mm CB - Brushed Clear (Porsche) (VS5RS18105ET44-5130-716-BC)
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever produced, delivering uncompromising performance for Porsche enthusiasts who demand maximum strength with minimum weight. As part of the Sprint Line of forged wheels, this 18x10.5 configuration combines deep concavity, exceptional brake clearance, and a stunning Brushed Clear finish for a motorsport-inspired look that performs as good as it looks. Whether you're attacking apexes on track or carving back roads, the VS-5RS was engineered with one goal in mind: pure performance.
Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000 metric ton forging process, the VS-5RS begins as a massive forging blank before extensive CNC machining removes every unnecessary ounce. Side-milled spokes, reinforced Sprint inner lip technology, paintless knurled bead seats, and rigorous independent testing beyond JWL standards combine to create a forged wheel that is exceptionally light without sacrificing durability.
