Apex VS-5RS 18x9 Forged Wheel 5x130 BP ET46 71.6mm CB Brushed Clear (Porsche) - VS5RS189ET46-5130-716-BC
The Apex VS-5RS is engineered for Porsche enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance without unnecessary weight. As the lightest wheel in the Apex lineup, the VS-5RS is part of the Sprint Line of forged wheels, combining innovative engineering with premium forged construction to reduce rotational mass while maintaining exceptional strength. Whether your Porsche spends its time on mountain roads, autocross courses, or race tracks, this wheel delivers quicker acceleration, sharper steering response, improved braking performance, and the confidence to push harder every session.
Every VS-5RS starts as a proprietary 10K ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum blank before undergoing extensive CNC machining and Finite Element Analysis optimization. Deep side-milled spokes eliminate unnecessary material while preserving outstanding rigidity, and the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip provides increased impact resistance in demanding conditions. Massive brake clearance, vehicle-specific spoke profiles, paintless knurled bead seats, laser-engraved barrel specifications, and hub-centric construction make the VS-5RS one of the most advanced forged performance wheels available for Porsche applications.
