Apex VS-5RS 18x9 Forged Wheel 5x130 BP ET46 71.6mm CB Satin Black (Porsche) - VS5RS189ET46-5130-716-SMBK
The Apex VS-5RS is engineered for Porsche enthusiasts who refuse to compromise between weight, strength, and track-ready durability. As the lightest wheel in the Apex Sprint Line, the VS-5RS combines advanced engineering with premium forged construction to deliver razor-sharp handling, improved acceleration, and enhanced braking response without sacrificing the durability required for aggressive driving. Whether your Porsche spends its time on winding back roads or attacking apexes at the track, this wheel is built to perform.
Each 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 maintaining outstanding rigidity, and the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip increases impact resistance for greater confidence under demanding conditions. Combined with massive brake clearance, vehicle-specific spoke profiles, paintless knurled bead seats, laser-engraved specifications, and true hub-centric construction, the VS-5RS represents Apex's most advanced lightweight forged wheel technology.
