Apex SM-10 18x9.5 Flow-Formed Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET22 / 72.56mm CB - Race Silver (BMW) (SM101895ET22-5120-7256-RS)
The Apex SM-10 combines lightweight motorsport engineering with aggressive styling and exceptional durability for BMW enthusiasts who demand true performance both on the street and at the track. Built as part of Apexs advanced Flow Formed Evolution Line, the SM-10 utilizes reinforced structural design, CNC-machined spoke technology, and optimized brake clearance to deliver outstanding real-world capability.
Finished in a striking Race Silver finish, this 18x9.5 SM-10 delivers an aggressive concave profile while maintaining the lightweight strength Apex wheels are known for. Advanced flow-forming construction and extensive FEA optimization allow the SM-10 to achieve exceptional rigidity and reduced rotational mass without the premium cost of a fully forged wheel.
Advanced Flow Formed Construction
Apex utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to strengthen the wheel barrel while reducing overall weight. This process improves the aluminum grain structure and mechanical properties, creating a wheel that offers superior strength and stiffness compared to traditional cast wheels.
CNC-Machined I-Beam Spokes
The SM-10 features Apexs signature I-beam spoke machining process. Precision CNC ball-cutting removes excess material from the spoke sides, reducing rotational weight while preserving the strength required for aggressive performance driving.
Reinforced Inner Lip Design
The inner lip is one of the most vulnerable areas of any wheel. Apex reinforces this section with additional material to improve impact resistance against potholes, berms, track curbing, and rough road conditions.
Aggressive Concavity and Brake Clearance
By utilizing optimized face profiles and extensive laser scanning during development, the SM-10 achieves deep concavity while still maintaining exceptional clearance for large factory and aftermarket brake systems.
Weight Optimized Engineering
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was used extensively throughout the design process to reinforce high-stress areas while removing unnecessary material from low-load zones. The result is a lightweight wheel engineered for serious performance use.
