Flow Formed Performance
The SM-10 utilizes Apexs advanced flow forming technology to create a lightweight wheel with enhanced strength and rigidity compared to traditional cast wheels. During manufacturing, the barrel is spun under pressure to improve aluminum grain structure and increase barrel durability while reducing unnecessary weight.
Combined with extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Apex engineers optimized the wheel design by reinforcing critical load areas and removing material where it was not structurally beneficial.
Built for Street and Track Use
The SM-10s reinforced inner lip provides additional protection in the wheels most vulnerable area, helping defend against impacts from potholes, track curbing, and rough road conditions. Large brake clearance and lightweight construction make this wheel an ideal choice for high-performance street cars and dedicated track builds alike.
Anthracite Finish
The Anthracite finish gives the SM-10 a refined motorsport appearance with a darker metallic tone that complements a wide range of Ford paint colors and performance styling themes. The finish highlights the wheels aggressive spoke design and deep concavity while maintaining a clean OEM+ aesthetic.
Fitment
- Ford applications utilizing 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 70.5mm center bore
- Verify brake clearance, suspension clearance, and tire fitment prior to installation
