Flow Formed Engineering
The SM-10 utilizes advanced flow forming technology to create a wheel with increased barrel strength and stiffness compared to conventional cast wheels. During manufacturing, the barrel is spun and compressed under high pressure to improve aluminum grain structure while reducing overall weight.
Apex further optimized the wheel using extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reinforce critical stress areas while machining away unnecessary material that does not contribute to structural integrity.
Track-Ready Performance
The reinforced inner lip provides additional durability in the wheels most vulnerable area, helping withstand potholes, berms, and aggressive track conditions. Combined with Apexs extensive brake clearance development and lightweight construction, the SM-10 is ideal for both street-driven and track-focused Porsche builds.
Race Silver Finish
The Race Silver finish provides a timeless motorsport-inspired appearance that highlights the SM-10s sculpted spoke profile and deep concavity. The bright metallic finish pairs perfectly with both OEM and modified Porsche applications.
Fitment
- Porsche applications utilizing 5x130 bolt pattern and 71.6mm center bore
- Verify brake clearance, suspension clearance, and tire fitment prior to installation
