This 20x11.5 ET48 wheel addresses the performance demands of Ford 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 25.3 lbs in the 20x11.5 configuration, representing optimized rotational mass that directly impacts acceleration, braking performance, and suspension response. This weight characteristic is accomplished through the forged manufacturing process, which allows for precise material placement and optimized spoke sections without compromising the structural strength required for high-performance Ford 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 incorporates a Profile 2 face design that positions the spokes and mounting surface for optimal brake clearance and visual depth. The 60-degree conical hardware seat ensures proper lug nut engagement and load distribution across the mounting surface. The 20x11.5 ET48 sizing provides the wide contact patch and appropriate offset for Ford performance applications requiring aggressive wheel and tire combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: Ford applications with 5x114.3 bolt pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Forged aluminum construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 25.3 lbs\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: 70.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable Finishes: Anthracite, Satin Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: VS5RE20115ET48-51143-705-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;\"\u003e20\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e11.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eET48\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e5x114.3mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e70.5mm\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;\"\u003e25.3 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"APEX Wheels","offers":[{"title":"Anthracite","offer_id":47672809717911,"sku":"VS5RE20115ET48-51143-705-AN","price":1039.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":47672809750679,"sku":"VS5RE20115ET48-51143-705-NSBK","price":1039.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2641\/0682\/files\/68e200d42c1a70002baf690fd3c8835742c9c408-2000x2000_35a7c73c-47fa-4485-8239-818240e2b923.png?v=1776284993","url":"https:\/\/autotalent.com\/products\/apex-wheels-vs-5re-forged-wheel-20x11-5-et48-5x114-3","provider":"AutoTalent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
