Apex SM-10 18x9.5 Flow-Formed Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET22 / 72.56mm CB - Satin Black (BMW) (SM101895ET22-5120-7256-SMBK)
The Apex SM-10 delivers lightweight motorsport performance, aggressive styling, and exceptional durability for BMW enthusiasts who demand uncompromising capability on both the street and track. Developed as part of Apexs advanced Flow Formed Evolution Line, the SM-10 combines reinforced structural engineering, optimized weight reduction, and exceptional brake clearance into a true performance wheel package.
Finished in a sleek Satin Black coating, this 18x9.5 SM-10 features aggressive concavity and advanced flow-formed construction engineered to reduce rotational mass while maintaining outstanding strength and rigidity.
Advanced Flow Formed Construction
Apex utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to improve barrel strength and stiffness while reducing unnecessary weight. This manufacturing process enhances the aluminum grain structure, creating a stronger and lighter wheel compared to traditional cast alternatives.
CNC-Machined I-Beam Spokes
The SM-10 incorporates Apexs signature I-beam spoke machining process. Precision CNC ball-cutting removes excess material from the spoke sides, reducing rotational weight while preserving the structural integrity required for aggressive performance driving.
Reinforced Inner Lip Design
The inner lip is one of the most vulnerable impact zones on any wheel. Apex strengthens this critical area with additional material to improve resistance against potholes, berms, track curbing, and harsh road conditions.
Aggressive Concavity and Brake Clearance
Extensive laser scanning and repeated physical test fitting allowed Apex engineers to maximize brake clearance while maintaining deep concavity and aggressive styling. The SM-10 clears many factory and aftermarket big brake systems that often require larger diameter wheels.
Weight Optimized Engineering
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was used throughout the development process to reinforce high-load areas while removing unnecessary material from low-stress zones. The result is a lightweight wheel engineered for serious motorsport performance.
