Apex VS-5RS 21x12.5 Forged Wheel - Porsche Center Lock / ET48 / 101mm CB - Anthracite (Porsche) | VS5RS21125ET48-CL-PS-AN
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever engineered, purpose-built for Porsche enthusiasts who demand maximum performance without sacrificing durability. As part of the Sprint forged wheel lineup, the VS-5RS combines advanced engineering with premium forged construction to significantly reduce unsprung weight while maintaining the strength required for everything from spirited street driving to dedicated track use. Finished in Anthracite, this wheel delivers a clean motorsport-inspired appearance while providing the precision and reliability expected from a premium forged wheel.
Each VS-5RS begins as a massive 6061-T6 aluminum forging compressed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure before precision CNC machining removes every unnecessary gram while reinforcing critical load-bearing areas. Deep side-milled spokes, Apex's exclusive Sprint Spec reinforced inner lip, and extensive Finite Element Analysis create an exceptionally lightweight wheel without compromising structural integrity. Designed specifically for Porsche Center Lock applications, the VS-5RS provides exceptional brake clearance, accepts OEM TPMS sensors, and has been independently tested beyond JWL standards for proven durability and confidence under demanding driving conditions.
