Flow Formed Engineering
The SM-10 utilizes advanced flow forming technology to create a wheel with enhanced barrel strength and stiffness compared to conventional cast wheels. During production, the barrel is spun and compressed under high pressure to strengthen the aluminum grain structure while minimizing unnecessary weight.
Apex further optimized the design using extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reinforce critical stress areas while machining away excess material that does not contribute to structural integrity.
Track-Ready Durability
The reinforced inner lip provides additional protection in the wheels most vulnerable area, helping resist damage from potholes, curbing, and aggressive track conditions. Combined with Apexs extensive brake clearance development and lightweight construction, the SM-10 is engineered for both high-performance street driving and motorsport use.
Satin Black Finish
The Satin Black finish gives the SM-10 a timeless motorsport aesthetic that looks equally at home on street-driven Porsche builds and dedicated track cars. The deep black finish highlights the wheels aggressive spoke profile and concavity while maintaining a clean OEM+ appearance.
Fitment
- Porsche applications utilizing 5x130 bolt pattern and 71.6mm center bore
- Verify brake clearance, suspension clearance, and tire fitment prior to installation
