Flow Formed Engineering
The SM-10 utilizes Apexs advanced flow forming technology to produce a wheel with increased barrel strength and stiffness compared to traditional cast wheels. During manufacturing, the barrel is spun under pressure to improve aluminum grain structure, allowing Apex engineers to reduce weight while maintaining exceptional durability.
Extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was used throughout development to reinforce critical load areas and eliminate unnecessary material for an optimized strength-to-weight ratio.
Track-Ready Strength
The reinforced inner lip provides added protection in the wheels most vulnerable area, helping defend against potholes, curbing, and track abuse. Combined with substantial brake clearance and lightweight construction, the SM-10 is engineered to perform under aggressive driving conditions while maintaining long-term reliability.
Satin Black Finish
The Satin Black finish gives the SM-10 a timeless, stealth-inspired appearance that perfectly complements modern Ford performance vehicles. The deep satin finish highlights the wheels aggressive spoke profile and 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
