Apex VS-5RS 18x12 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET63 / 71.6mm CB - Satin Black (VS5RS1812ET63-5130-716-SMBK)
When every pound matters, the Apex VS-5RS delivers championship-level performance without sacrificing durability. As the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line, this 18x12 forged wheel is engineered to reduce unsprung and rotational weight for quicker acceleration, sharper turn-in, and improved braking performance. Finished in a premium Satin Black finish, it combines aggressive motorsport styling with the strength and reliability serious Porsche enthusiasts demand.
Forged from premium 6061-T6 aluminum using an enormous 10,000 metric ton forging press, the VS-5RS utilizes proprietary motorsport forging blanks, deep side-milled spokes, a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, paintless knurled bead seats, and advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) optimization. Every wheel is independently tested beyond JWL standards, ensuring exceptional durability, impressive brake clearance, and the confidence needed for both spirited street driving and repeated track sessions.
