Apex VS-5RS 18x9 Forged Wheel 5x130 BP ET46 71.6mm CB Motorsport Gold (Porsche) - VS5RS189ET46-5130-716-MGD
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 is built for canyon carving, HPDE events, autocross, or competitive track use, the VS-5RS delivers sharper handling, quicker acceleration, stronger braking response, and the durability to perform lap after lap.
Every VS-5RS begins 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, while the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip enhances impact resistance without compromising weight. 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 wheels Apex has ever produced.
