Apex VS-5RS 18x12 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET46 / 71.6mm CB - Satin Black (Porsche) VS5RS1812ET46-5130-716-NSBK
The Apex VS-5RS is the ultimate expression of lightweight forged wheel performance. Developed as part of Apex's Sprint Line, the VS-5RS delivers an exceptional balance of reduced weight, increased strength, and race-proven durability. Designed specifically for demanding Porsche enthusiasts, this 18x12 wheel features an aggressive Satin Black finish and advanced engineering that enhances acceleration, braking response, and overall vehicle dynamics on both the street and track.
Manufactured from a custom 6061-T6 forged aluminum blank using an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the VS-5RS benefits from superior material density and grain structure. Extensive CNC machining, deep side-milled spokes, and advanced Finite Element Analysis allow Apex engineers to remove unnecessary weight while reinforcing critical stress points. The result is an exceptionally lightweight wheel featuring a stronger Sprint spec inner lip, industry-leading brake clearance, paintless knurled bead seats, and independent testing that exceeds JWL standards.
