Apex SM-10 18x11 Flow-Formed Wheel - 5x120.65 BP / ET38 / 70.3mm CB - Race Silver (Chevy) (SM101811ET38-512065-703-RS)
The Apex SM-10 is engineered for Chevy enthusiasts who demand lightweight performance, aggressive styling, and race-proven durability in one complete package. Designed as part of Apexs advanced Flow Formed Evolution Line, this 18x11 wheel combines deep concavity, massive brake clearance, and reinforced construction to deliver serious capability for both street and track use. Finished in a striking Race Silver finish, the SM-10 adds an unmistakably motorsport-inspired appearance to high-performance Camaro and Corvette builds.
Using advanced flow forming technology, Apex enhances the barrel strength and rigidity of the wheel while minimizing unnecessary weight. The result is a wheel that delivers excellent responsiveness, improved chassis dynamics, and exceptional durability under demanding driving conditions. Combined with CNC-machined I-beam spokes, reinforced inner lips, and extensive FEA optimization, the SM-10 is built to handle everything from canyon carving and autocross to road course abuse and drag strip launches.

Flow Formed Evolution Technology
The SM-10 utilizes Apexs advanced flow forming process to improve barrel strength and stiffness while reducing rotational weight. This manufacturing method improves aluminum grain structure, resulting in a wheel with increased durability and performance characteristics compared to conventional cast wheels.
Advanced I-Beam Spoke Design
Each SM-10 wheel features precision CNC-machined I-beam spokes designed to remove excess material while maintaining structural integrity. This advanced engineering approach helps reduce weight while preserving the strength needed for aggressive performance driving.
Reinforced Inner Lip Construction
The inner barrel lip is one of the most vulnerable impact zones on any wheel. Apex reinforces this area with additional material to improve durability against potholes, curbing, berm strikes, and harsh road conditions encountered during high-performance driving.
Massive Brake Clearance
Extensive laser scanning and repeated test fitting allowed Apex engineers to maximize brake clearance without increasing wheel diameter. The SM-10 clears many large factory and aftermarket brake systems that often require larger, heavier wheels from other manufacturers.
Weight Optimized Engineering
Using Finite Element Analysis, Apex strategically reinforces high-load areas while eliminating unnecessary material in low-stress zones. The result is a lightweight wheel that improves steering response, acceleration, braking performance, and overall handling feel.
