Forged construction and a 24.6 lb weight figure make the APEX VS-5RE a serious choice for Mustang owners who need a wheel that performs at the track without sacrificing street usability across the full 2005-2026 model range.
Forged from the Enduro Line. The VS-5RE belongs to APEX's Enduro Line, a family engineered for repeated hard use. Forged construction compresses and aligns the grain structure of the alloy, producing a wheel that handles sustained stress better than a comparable cast unit at a lower overall weight.
Dimensions dialed in for the S197 through S650. The 20x11 footprint with an ET23 offset places the wheel face correctly in the fender for the broadest span of Mustang generations, from 2005 through 2026. That offset works with OEM and common aftermarket suspension geometry without requiring spacers on most fitments.
Weight that matters on a driven axle. At 24.6 lbs in a 20x11 size, the VS-5RE keeps unsprung and rotational mass in check. Reduced rotational inertia translates directly to sharper acceleration, more responsive braking, and less work for the suspension to do over uneven surfaces.
Anthracite finish for a clean, purposeful look. The anthracite color reads as a dark, slightly warm gray that complements both bright and dark Mustang body colors without the maintenance demands of a polished or chrome surface.
