Forged construction and a 23.5 lb weight hit make the APEX VS-5RE a compelling choice for Mustang owners who want a wheel that performs on track without sacrificing streetability across the full 2005-2026 platform range.
Forged, not cast. The VS-5RE comes from the APEX Enduro Line, built using a forged construction process that produces a denser, stronger wheel at a lower weight than comparable cast alternatives. At 23.5 lbs in the 19x11 configuration, this wheel keeps unsprung mass in check where it matters most.
Fitment dialed in for the Mustang. The 19x11 ET52 spec positions the wheel correctly within the Mustang's wheel well from the S197 through the S650 generation. No spacers, no guesswork, no rubbing concerns when run in its intended application.
Satin black finish for aggressive aesthetics. The non-satin black finish resists brake dust adhesion better than gloss surfaces and complements the Mustang's body lines without demanding obsessive maintenance to look good.
Enduro Line durability standards. The VS-5RE sits within the APEX Enduro Line, a family engineered to handle the repeated stress cycles of both track days and daily driving. The forged structure accommodates the sustained lateral loads that curb weight and high cornering speeds generate.
