Flow Formed Performance
The SM-10 utilizes advanced flow forming technology to create a lightweight yet extremely durable wheel. During production, the barrel is spun and compressed under pressure, improving aluminum grain structure and increasing barrel strength and stiffness. This process allows Apex engineers to remove excess material while maintaining excellent durability for both street and track environments.
Extensive FEA testing was used to reinforce high-stress areas while minimizing unnecessary mass. The result is a wheel that provides improved steering response, reduced rotational weight, and exceptional reliability under aggressive driving conditions.
Engineered for Big Brake Clearance
Using extensive laser scanning and repeated test fitting, Apex engineered the SM-10 to maximize brake clearance without requiring oversized wheel diameters. The aggressive concavity and spoke design allow many large OEM and aftermarket brake packages to fit comfortably while maintaining the aggressive profile enthusiasts expect.
Aggressive Anthracite Finish
The Anthracite finish gives the SM-10 a refined motorsport appearance that complements both modern and classic BMW styling. The darker metallic finish enhances the wheels aggressive spoke design and deep concavity while remaining easy to maintain for daily driving or track use.
Fitment
- BMW applications utilizing 5x120 bolt pattern and 72.56mm center bore
- Verify brake clearance, suspension clearance, and tire fitment prior to installation
