Apex SM-10 18x9.5 Flow-Formed Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET35 / 72.56mm CB - Race Silver (BMW) (SM101895ET35-5120-7256-RS)
The Apex SM-10 is engineered for BMW enthusiasts seeking 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 outstanding brake clearance into a wheel designed for serious street and track use.
Finished in a clean Race Silver finish, this 18x9.5 SM-10 delivers aggressive concavity and precision-engineered flow-formed construction that enhances strength and rigidity while minimizing rotational mass for sharper handling and improved vehicle response.
Advanced Flow Formed Construction
Apex utilizes advanced flow-forming manufacturing technology to improve barrel strength and stiffness while reducing unnecessary weight. This process enhances the aluminum grain structure, producing 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 required for demanding motorsport applications.
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, curbing, berms, and harsh road conditions.
Aggressive Concavity and Brake Clearance
Extensive laser scanning and repeated test fitting allowed Apex engineers to maximize brake clearance while maintaining deep concavity and aggressive styling. The SM-10 clears many large factory and aftermarket brake systems that often require larger wheels from competing manufacturers.
Weight Optimized Engineering
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was used extensively throughout the wheel development process to reinforce high-load areas while removing unnecessary material from low-stress zones. The result is a lightweight wheel engineered for maximum performance.
