Apex VS-5RS 21x12.5 Forged Wheel - Porsche Center Lock / ET48 / 101mm CB - Motorsport Gold (Porsche) | VS5RS21125ET48-CL-PS-MGD
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever produced, engineered specifically for Porsche enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance on the street and at the track. As part of Apex's Sprint forged wheel lineup, the VS-5RS combines cutting-edge engineering with premium forged construction to reduce unsprung weight while maintaining the strength and durability required for serious performance driving. Finished in striking Motorsport Gold, this wheel delivers race-inspired style backed by true motorsport engineering.
Each VS-5RS starts as a massive 6061-T6 aluminum forging compressed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure before extensive CNC machining removes every unnecessary gram while reinforcing critical load-bearing areas. Deep side-milled spokes, the exclusive Sprint Spec reinforced inner lip, and advanced Finite Element Analysis result in an exceptionally lightweight wheel without compromising structural integrity. Designed specifically for Porsche Center Lock applications, the VS-5RS offers outstanding brake clearance, accepts OEM TPMS sensors, and has been independently tested beyond JWL standards for proven durability under demanding conditions.
