Apex VS-5RE Forged Wheel - 18x11.0 ET44 - 5x120 - Anthracite

Product Details

The Apex VS-5RE in 18x11.0" ET44 Anthracite is a forged wheel that's hub-centric on most 5x120 BMWs, including the E36, E46, E9x, F3x and F8x. The VS-5RE is the Enduro version of the VS-5, built for sticky tires, aero and fast laps. Apex rates it about 30% stronger than the VS-5RS, with spokes about 25% stiffer for less camber loss and better tire wear.

Turner's take: A wheel that can take a beating and deliver again and again, lap after lap.

Specifications

Good to Know

Will it fit my BMW?
It matches the 5x120 bolt pattern and 72.56mm hub, so no hub rings are needed. Our vehicle fitment list confirms bolt pattern and hub only, not front or rear placement. Most BMWs use different widths and offsets front and rear, and some models also change diameter or center bore between axles. Offsets outside the usual range can sometimes work with wheel spacers and longer lug bolts. Big Brake Kits (BBK) and widebody setups also affect clearance, so confirm front and rear fitment for your car before ordering.

What lug bolts does it use?
60° conical-seat lug bolts. BMW factory bolts are ball seat and can't be reused.

Does it take BMW center caps?
No. It has a capless hub to save weight and meet track day rules.

Is this one wheel or a set?
Price is per wheel. Check your front and rear sizes first, or choose one of our matched Apex wheel sets.
