Apex SM-10 18x9.5 Flow-Formed Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET35 / 72.56mm CB - Anthracite (BMW) (SM101895ET35-5120-7256-AN)
The Apex SM-10 is engineered for BMW enthusiasts who demand lightweight motorsport performance, aggressive styling, and uncompromising durability. 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 wheel designed for both street and track use.
Finished in a bold Anthracite finish, this 18x9.5 SM-10 features deep concavity and precision-engineered flow-formed construction that enhances rigidity while reducing rotational mass for improved handling and responsiveness.
Flow Formed Evolution Technology
Apex utilizes advanced flow-forming manufacturing to improve barrel strength and stiffness while minimizing unnecessary weight. This process enhances the aluminum grain structure, resulting in a wheel that offers increased durability and performance compared to traditional cast wheels.
CNC-Machined I-Beam Spokes
The SM-10 incorporates Apexs signature I-beam spoke machining process. Excess material is precisely removed using CNC ball-cutting technology to reduce rotational mass while maintaining the structural integrity needed for demanding motorsport environments.
Reinforced Inner Lip Design
The inner lip is one of the most vulnerable impact areas on any wheel. Apex strengthens this critical zone with additional material to improve resistance against potholes, track berms, 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 maintaining outstanding clearance for large factory and aftermarket brake systems.
Weight Optimized Engineering
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was used extensively throughout the development 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.
