Flow Formed Engineering
The SM-10 utilizes advanced flow forming technology to strengthen the wheel barrel while reducing overall weight. During production, the barrel is spun and compressed under pressure to improve the aluminum grain structure, resulting in a wheel that offers enhanced stiffness and durability compared to traditional cast wheels.
Apex engineers further optimized the wheel using extensive Finite Element Analysis to reinforce critical stress points while eliminating unnecessary mass. The reinforced inner lip adds extra protection against potholes, track curbing, and harsh road conditions.
Brake Clearance and Concavity
The SM-10 was engineered using detailed laser scanning and repeated test fitting to maximize brake clearance while maintaining aggressive concavity. Apex developed multiple face profiles to optimize fitment across BMW applications, allowing this wheel to clear many large OEM and aftermarket brake systems without requiring oversized wheel diameters.
Race Silver Finish
The Race Silver finish gives the SM-10 a timeless motorsport appearance that highlights the wheels sculpted spoke design and deep concavity. This finish pairs exceptionally well with both modern and classic BMW paint colors while maintaining an OEM+ appearance.
Fitment
- BMW applications utilizing 5x120 bolt pattern and 72.56mm center bore
- Verify brake clearance, suspension clearance, and tire fitment prior to installation
