APEX Forged VS-5RE Wheel
Fully forged VS-5RE — Race Edition 5-spoke from APEX, delivering a dramatic open-face profile with forged 6061-T6 construction for builds that want maximum brake visibility alongside race-edition weight.
Brand: APEX Wheels
Construction: Forged 1-piece
Material: 6061-T6 forged aluminum
Design: 5-spoke open face, race edition
Note: Priced per wheel.
Description:
Five spokes in a forged wheel means each spoke carries more cross-sectional area than a higher spoke-count design of similar weight, which is favorable for torsional stiffness under braking load. The VS-5RE applies APEX’s RE race-edition forging specification to this layout: 6061-T6 billet, grain structure throughout, weight reduction target above the flow-formed VS-5 baseline. The wide inter-spoke windows show large brake assemblies better than any other spoke count in the lineup, making the VS-5RE the natural partner for builds with significant brake upgrades where displaying that hardware matters.
Features:
• Fully Forged 6061-T6: Billet forging for improved grain structure and race-edition weight versus the flow-formed VS-5.
• RE Race Edition Specification: Above-baseline forged engineering targeting serious amateur competition and demanding track days.
• 5-Spoke Open Face: Maximum inter-spoke window area; showcases large brake assemblies more clearly than higher spoke counts.
• Motorsport Load Ratings: SAE J2530 and TUV/JWL certified.
For builds with substantial brake upgrades where showing that hardware through wide spoke windows is part of the presentation.
