@Apex Wheels Will the thicker inner lip of the enduro wheel at 19x11"ET48 clear TPC rear toe links on a GT4?

Since you stated above that there is not yet a 19x10.5"ET44 for this wheel

Great question and the answer is the TPC rear toe link does not work with the 19x11"ET48 Enduro or Sprint line wheels. The TPC toe link is an incredible piece of engineering that shows a clear reduction in toe change throughout the range of rear suspension travel, the downside is the attachment point at the wheel upright is very similar to the OEM unit and therefore does not provide additional clearance for the reduced diameter 19x11" rear wheel. For someone looking to stick with the TPC toe link, one of our 19x10.5"ET44 sprint line wheels is the best choice or you can opt for a Tarett motorsport-style rear toe link which works with the 19x11"ET48 Sprint and Enduro lines wheels.

Interesting, the Potenza Sport comes in stock OEM 20" sizes. What are the tread wear rating on them?

Weird that they offer the Sport in OEM sizes, but not the RE-71RS

Hey everyone! We recently installed a set of the VS-5RS on our customer's GT4RS. Here's a few pics for now, but we'll share more photos of the setup soon!

Tarett Motorsport Style rear toe links for any of the 19x11" options. Note this does not apply to the 20x11"ET50 wheel which can run any rear toe link.

Love my 20" VS-5RS wheels! Car is lighter on its feet, big upgrade. The front even sits more flush to the fenders without spacers.

Some of you may have already seen the reveal of this project on https://www.instagram.com/apexwheels/, but we wanted to reach out to the Porsche community on the forums as well to collect feedback about the development of a new wheel design.


Project ML-10 Background:


After Josh, one of our Senior Product Engineers installed a widebody kit on his race car project, he had to design a custom set of wheels to fit his extreme application. Originally a one off project, when he showed the team what he created, we were floored. And our community was too when we shared a picture on Instagram and Facebook.


We’ve made it an official project, but to make this wheel a reality, we need you to decide on some of the details by taking our survey.





Need more information? Subscribe to our newsletter and check out project updates along with additional photos on our website.

Brandon, in the prototype is the lip painted silver? It doesn't look fully glossy like a polished lip.
