Forged construction and a purpose-built fitment make the APEX VS-5RE a direct answer to the weight and strength compromises that come with cast wheels on a track-driven Mustang.
Forged from a single billet. Forging aligns the grain structure of the aluminum, producing a wheel that resists fatigue and impact loads far better than cast alternatives at the same or lower weight. At 25.3 lbs for a 20x11.5 fitment, the VS-5RE keeps unsprung mass in check without sacrificing the structural integrity a hard-driven Mustang demands.
Sized and offset for a flush, functional stance. The 20x11.5 diameter and width combination fills the rear quarter of the 2005-2026 Mustang correctly, and the ET48 offset places the wheel precisely within the factory suspension geometry to avoid rubbing and preserve steering feedback.
Part of the Enduro Line. The VS-5RE belongs to APEX's Enduro family, a lineup engineered specifically for mixed-use duty: road courses, canyon runs, and daily driving. The five-spoke forged construction balances rotational inertia with brake cooling clearance, giving functional advantages beyond appearance.
Satin black finish. The satin black coating delivers a subdued, race-influenced look that hides brake dust and minor scuffs better than gloss alternatives, making it a practical choice for wheels that see regular track or autocross use.
