Apex VS-5RS 18x9 Forged Wheel 5x130 BP ET46 71.6mm CB Satin Black (Porsche) - VS5RS189ET46-5130-716-NSBK
The Apex VS-5RS is built for Porsche enthusiasts who demand the ultimate balance of lightweight performance, strength, and precision. As the lightest wheel in the Apex lineup, the VS-5RS is part of the Sprint Line of forged wheels, utilizing advanced engineering and premium forged construction to reduce rotational mass while reinforcing critical load-bearing areas. The result is faster acceleration, sharper steering response, improved braking feel, and exceptional durability whether your Porsche is driven on the street or pushed to its limits at the track.
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 remove unnecessary material while maintaining exceptional rigidity, while the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip increases impact resistance without adding unnecessary weight. Massive brake clearance, vehicle-specific spoke profiles, paintless knurled bead seats, laser-engraved barrel specifications, and hub-centric construction make this one of the most technically advanced forged wheels available for Porsche performance applications.
