This 18x10.5 ET45 wheel addresses the performance demands of Chevrolet enthusiasts who require both strength and reduced unsprung weight for improved handling dynamics. The forged construction approach delivers superior material density and structural integrity compared to cast alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VS-5RE achieves a weight of 22.2 lbs in the 18x10.5 configuration, representing a reduction in rotational mass that directly impacts acceleration, braking performance, and suspension response. This weight optimization is accomplished through the forged manufacturing process, which allows for precise material placement and thinner spoke sections without compromising structural strength required for high-performance applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForged construction utilizes a single piece of aluminum that is heated and formed under extreme pressure, creating a wheel with enhanced grain structure and material properties. This manufacturing method produces wheels that are both lighter and stronger than cast equivalents, making them suitable for high-performance driving applications where wheel failure is not acceptable. The forged process eliminates the porosity and inconsistencies found in cast wheels, resulting in a denser, more reliable structure capable of withstanding the demands of track use and spirited driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VS-5RE features a Profile 2 face design that provides the specific offset and spoke geometry optimized for the 5x120 bolt pattern applications. The wheel utilizes a 60-degree conical hardware seat that ensures proper lug nut engagement and secure mounting to the vehicle hub.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: 5x120 bolt pattern vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 22.2 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Forged aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace Profile: Profile 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Seat: 60 Degree Conical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter Bore: 67.1mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable Finishes: Anthracite, Satin Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: VS5RE18105ET45-5120-671-AN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWheel Specifications:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable class=\"custable\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;font-size:90%;width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#03589c;height:21.875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:10%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIAMETER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:10%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWIDTH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:10%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOFFSET\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOLT PATTERN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCENTER BORE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:14%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONSTRUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFACE PROFILE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE SEAT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:8%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#e8f4f8;height:32px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e18\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e10.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eET45\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e5x120mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e67.1mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eForged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eProfile 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e60 Degree Conical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e22.2 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"APEX Wheels","offers":[{"title":"Anthracite","offer_id":47665444978839,"sku":"VS5RE18105ET45-5120-671-AN","price":779.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":47665445011607,"sku":"VS5RE18105ET45-5120-671-NSBK","price":779.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2641\/0682\/files\/c3fb9421cad640a50827783237c6b2eced6c5a1b-2000x2000_86c1d96e-1826-4ff9-b218-de9d9f6fe333.png?v=1776200933","url":"https:\/\/autotalent.com\/products\/apex-wheels-vs-5re-forged-wheel-18x10-5-et45-5x120","provider":"AutoTalent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
