Flow Formed Engineering
The SM-10 utilizes advanced flow forming technology to create a lightweight yet highly durable wheel. During production, the barrel is spun and compressed under pressure to improve aluminum grain structure and increase stiffness. This allows Apex engineers to remove unnecessary material while maintaining the durability required for aggressive street and track driving.
Extensive Finite Element Analysis testing was used to reinforce critical stress areas while optimizing overall wheel weight. The reinforced inner lip provides added protection against potholes, curbing, and harsh track conditions.
Designed for Brake Clearance and Performance
The SM-10 was engineered using comprehensive laser scanning and repeated test fitting to maximize brake clearance while maintaining aggressive concavity. Apex developed multiple face profiles to optimize fitment across Porsche applications, allowing many large factory and aftermarket brake packages to clear comfortably without requiring oversized wheels.
Race Silver Finish
The Race Silver finish gives the SM-10 a timeless motorsport appearance that complements both modern and classic Porsche styling. The bright metallic finish highlights the wheels sharp spoke lines and deep concavity while maintaining a clean OEM+ aesthetic.
Fitment
- Porsche applications utilizing 5x130 bolt pattern and 71.6mm center bore
- Verify brake clearance, suspension clearance, and tire fitment prior to installation
FAQs
