Apex SM-10 18x11 Flow-Formed Wheel - 5x120.65 BP / ET38 / 70.3mm CB - Satin Black (Chevy) (SM101811ET38-512065-703-SMBK)
The Apex SM-10 is built for Chevy enthusiasts who demand serious motorsport performance, lightweight responsiveness, and aggressive styling without compromising durability. Developed as part of Apexs advanced Flow Formed Evolution Line, this 18x11 wheel delivers exceptional strength, massive brake clearance, and deep concavity engineered specifically for high-performance street and track applications. Finished in a stealthy Satin Black finish, the SM-10 gives Camaro and Corvette builds an aggressive race-inspired appearance while improving overall handling and chassis response.
Manufactured using advanced flow forming technology, the SM-10 improves barrel strength and rigidity by enhancing the aluminum grain structure during production. Apex combines this process with CNC-machined I-beam spokes, reinforced inner lip construction, and extensive Finite Element Analysis to create a wheel that is exceptionally lightweight while maintaining the durability needed for aggressive driving conditions. Whether your Chevy is built for canyon carving, road course sessions, drag strip launches, or weekend cruising, the SM-10 delivers the performance enthusiasts expect from Apex.

Flow Formed Evolution Technology
The SM-10 utilizes Apexs advanced flow forming process to improve wheel strength and stiffness while minimizing rotational mass. By improving the aluminum grain alignment during manufacturing, Apex creates a wheel that offers superior durability and lightweight performance compared to conventional cast wheel designs.
Advanced I-Beam Spoke Design
Each SM-10 wheel features precision CNC-machined I-beam spokes that remove excess material from low-stress areas while preserving structural integrity. This advanced engineering process helps reduce weight while maintaining the strength required for aggressive performance driving.
Reinforced Inner Lip Durability
The inner barrel lip is one of the highest impact areas on any wheel. Apex reinforces this section with additional material to improve resistance against potholes, curbing, berm strikes, and rough road conditions encountered during high-performance driving.
Massive Brake Clearance
Through extensive laser scanning and real-world test fitting, Apex engineered the SM-10 to clear many large factory and aftermarket brake systems while retaining lightweight 18 inch wheel sizing. This allows enthusiasts to maximize performance without stepping up to heavier wheel packages.
Weight Optimized Engineering
Using Finite Element Analysis, Apex strategically reinforces high-load areas while removing unnecessary material in low-stress zones. The result is a lightweight wheel that improves steering response, braking feel, acceleration performance, and overall handling balance.
