Lightweight forged & flow formed Apex wheels for your 2017+ 718 Cayman Base, S, T, GTS 2.5/4.0.
Continuing the fantastic chassis balance that the Cayman is known for, Porsche continues to hold it back with narrow tires. The stock 718 Cayman Wheels leave a lot on the table from a width and weight perspective. From base model to GTS 4.0 all share a 235 front and 265 rear tire. If you want to extract even more performance, a lightweight chassis specific set of wider wheels and tires will make a world of difference. We have created solutions in our Forged EC-7RS, SM-10RS, and VS-5RS as well as Flow Formed SM-10.
Features:
Our new forgings weigh as much as 120 pounds before machining. To form such a thick blank we require special equipment capable of 10,000 metric tons of pressure. This extreme pressure increases the strength of the aluminum by eliminating porosity and improving the grain structure.
Many companies use 3rd-party blanks intended for non-motorsport wheels which can severely limit sizes, concavity, spoke design, and critical brake clearance. We designed our very own blank profiles from scratch to give us total control over the final product.
To be as light as possible the VS-5RS features extra-deep, side-milled spokes. Any excess material that doesn't add strength is machined out using a precision CNC ball cutter. Side-milling is often deemed cost-prohibitive by others, but for true performance without compromise we believe it's essential.
