Flow Formed Engineering
The SM-10 utilizes advanced flow forming technology to create a wheel that balances lightweight performance with exceptional strength. During manufacturing, the barrel is compressed and spun under pressure to improve the aluminum grain structure and increase stiffness. This process allows Apex engineers to remove unnecessary weight while maintaining the durability required for aggressive street and track driving.
Extensive FEA testing was used to reinforce high-stress areas while optimizing weight savings throughout the wheel. The reinforced inner lip adds another layer of protection against potholes, curbing, and track abuse.
Brake Clearance and Aggressive Concavity
The SM-10 was engineered using extensive laser scanning and repeated test fitting to maximize brake clearance while maintaining deep concavity. Apex developed multiple face profiles to optimize fitment across BMW applications, allowing many large OEM and aftermarket brake systems to clear comfortably without requiring oversized wheels.
Race Silver Finish
The Race Silver finish gives the SM-10 a timeless motorsport appearance that highlights the wheels sharp spoke design and deep concavity. The bright metallic finish pairs exceptionally well with both modern and classic BMW paint colors while maintaining a clean OEM+ aesthetic.
Fitment
- BMW applications utilizing 5x120 bolt pattern and 72.56mm center bore
- Verify brake clearance, suspension clearance, and tire fitment prior to installation
FAQs
