Apex VS-5RS 18x10.5 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET44 / 71.6mm CB - Satin Black (Porsche) (VS5RS18105ET44-5130-716-NSBK)
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever produced, delivering an incredible balance of low weight, strength, and motorsport-ready durability. Designed as part of the Sprint Line of forged wheels, this 18x10.5 configuration features a sleek Satin Black finish and is engineered specifically for Porsche applications. From aggressive track use to spirited street driving, the VS-5RS is built to provide exceptional performance without compromise.
Constructed from forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000 metric ton forging process, the VS-5RS starts as a massive blank before precision CNC machining removes every unnecessary ounce. Deep side-milled spokes, a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, and extensive Finite Element Analysis optimization create a wheel that remains exceptionally lightweight while maintaining impressive strength. Independent testing beyond JWL standards and features like paintless knurled bead seats and massive brake clearance further separate the VS-5RS from ordinary performance wheels.
