Apex VS-5RS 21x12.5 Forged Wheel - Porsche Center Lock / ET48 / 101mm CB - Satin Black (Porsche) | VS5RS21125ET48-CL-PS-NSBK
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever engineered, purpose-built for Porsche enthusiasts who demand maximum performance without compromise. Part of the Sprint forged wheel lineup, the VS-5RS combines cutting-edge engineering with premium forged construction to reduce unsprung weight while maintaining exceptional strength for both street and track use. Finished in Satin Black, this wheel delivers an aggressive motorsport-inspired appearance while providing the durability and precision serious drivers expect.
Each VS-5RS begins as a massive 6061-T6 aluminum forging compressed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure before undergoing extensive CNC machining to remove unnecessary material while reinforcing critical load-bearing areas. Deep side-milled spokes, the exclusive Sprint Spec reinforced inner lip, and extensive Finite Element Analysis produce an exceptionally lightweight wheel without sacrificing structural integrity. Engineered specifically for Porsche Center Lock applications, the VS-5RS offers exceptional brake clearance, accepts OEM TPMS sensors, and has been independently tested beyond JWL standards for proven strength and reliability under the most demanding driving conditions.
