We do not make an 18x8.5" forged wheel for Porsche, we only produce an 18x8.5"ET45 in our Flow Formed SM-10 for your chassis. Are you trying to meet a rule set for autocross or other form of competition or what are your goals for this set of wheels? Feel free to PM me if you would rather have the conversation there.

Apex Forged Enduro Line
Introducing the all new Apex Forged Enduro Line. Designed to withstand the combined stresses of extra sticky tires, crazy downforce, fast drivers, and inevitable mistakes. Available in two designs at launch. The VS-5RE and SM-10RE are strength optimized versions of our popular lightweight designs. Priced similarly to our Sprint line wheels, every enthusiast can choose which version is best for their needs.
Part of our commitment to Real Performance, these are our strongest and most durable wheels, with dramatically higher load ratings, stiffer spokes, and tougher lips than ever before.
There’s a constant industry push for lighter wheels, but if saving weight is the top priority then strength and stiffness can be compromised. We see it often in the pursuit of lower advertised weights, and many cars end up ill-equipped as a result. The reality is that all enthusiasts could benefit from stronger and stiffer wheels, while some critically require it.
Visit our website to place your pre-order now, wheels are set to arrive beginning in May. 25% deposit required to reserve a set.
Pre-Order Now
➡︎ 10K ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum
➡︎ Heavy-duty Enduro Spec inner lip
➡︎ Stiffer side-milled spokes and lip pocketing
➡︎ Stronger 2100 lb. load rating
➡︎ Capless hub design to reduce weight
➡︎ Paintless barrel & knurled beads
➡︎ Independently tested and certified
718 GT4 Clubsport MR
18" VS-5RE in Anthracite
Front: 18x9" ET41 with 25/64-18
Rear: 18x10.5" ET47 with 27/68-18
Tires: Michelin Slicks
Note: MR Lug nuts required

Hey Apex.
I ordered, from a distributor in Toronto, a set of anthracite VS-5RS in 20x9 ET44 and 20x12 ET47 back on December 18, 2023. Back then I was told they were "backordered (likely pending production)" and that it could be April or May of 2024 for an anthracite-finish in these sizes. More recently I was told mid-April.
Now that we're just a couple of weeks from "mid April" does this sound like a realistic timeframe for these wheels?

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.
