Apex VS-5RS 18x9 Forged Wheel 5x130 BP ET46 71.6mm CB Satin Bronze (Porsche) - VS5RS189ET46-5130-716-NSBZ
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 advanced engineering with premium forged construction to reduce rotational mass while maximizing strength where it matters most. Whether you're carving through mountain roads, competing in autocross, or chasing lap times at the track, the VS-5RS delivers quicker acceleration, sharper steering response, stronger braking feel, and the confidence to drive harder.
Each VS-5RS begins as a proprietary 10K ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum blank before undergoing precision CNC machining and extensive Finite Element Analysis optimization. Deep side-milled spokes remove unnecessary material while preserving exceptional rigidity, while the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip increases impact resistance in demanding driving 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.
