Flow Formed Engineering
The SM-10 utilizes advanced flow forming technology to create a lightweight yet highly durable wheel. During manufacturing, the barrel is compressed and spun under pressure to improve aluminum grain structure and increase stiffness. This process allows Apex engineers to remove excess material while maintaining the strength needed for demanding street and track environments.
Extensive Finite Element Analysis testing was used to reinforce critical stress areas while optimizing overall wheel weight. The reinforced inner lip provides additional 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 systems to clear comfortably without requiring oversized wheel diameters.
Satin Black Finish
The Satin Black finish gives the SM-10 a clean and aggressive appearance that pairs perfectly with Porsche styling. The smooth satin coating highlights the wheels sharp spoke lines and deep concavity while maintaining a stealthy OEM+ motorsport 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
Can the SM-10 handle aggressive track driving?
