Apex SM-10 18x11 Flow-Formed Wheel - 5x120.65 BP / ET38 / 70.3mm CB - Anthracite (Chevy) (SM101811ET38-512065-703-AN)
The Apex SM-10 delivers the aggressive styling, brake clearance, and lightweight performance serious Chevy enthusiasts demand from a modern motorsport wheel. Built as part of Apexs Flow Formed Evolution Line, this 18x11 wheel combines race-proven engineering with street-ready durability, making it an outstanding option for high-performance Camaro and Corvette applications. Finished in a rich Anthracite finish, the SM-10 brings an unmistakably aggressive look while reducing unsprung weight for sharper handling and improved response.
Using advanced flow forming technology, Apex strengthens the barrel structure by improving the aluminum grain alignment during production. The result is increased strength and rigidity without the added cost of a fully forged wheel. Combined with reinforced inner lips, deep concave profiles, and precision CNC-machined I-beam spokes, the SM-10 delivers exceptional durability and performance whether your Chevy sees street miles, drag strip launches, autocross events, or dedicated track duty.

Flow Formed Evolution Technology
The SM-10 utilizes Apexs advanced flow forming process to improve barrel strength and stiffness while minimizing unnecessary weight. This manufacturing method enhances the wheels grain structure, allowing Apex engineers to use less material without compromising durability. The result is a lighter wheel with excellent impact resistance and track-capable performance characteristics.
Advanced I-Beam Spoke Design
Each SM-10 wheel features CNC-machined I-beam spokes that remove excess material from low-stress areas while maintaining structural integrity. This advanced machining process helps reduce rotational mass while preserving the strength required for demanding performance applications.
Reinforced Inner Lip Protection
The inner lip of a wheel absorbs significant impacts from potholes, berms, and rough track surfaces. Apex strengthens this critical area with additional material to improve durability and resistance against damage during aggressive driving conditions.
Massive Brake Clearance
Designed through extensive laser scanning and real-world test fitting, the SM-10 offers exceptional brake clearance for modern high-performance Chevy brake packages. This allows enthusiasts to run lightweight 18 inch wheels without sacrificing the ability to clear large factory or aftermarket brake systems.
Weight Optimized Performance
Using Finite Element Analysis, Apex strategically reinforced high-stress zones while reducing material in lower-load areas. This engineering approach creates a wheel that improves steering response, acceleration, braking performance, and overall chassis balance.
