Apex SM-10 18x9.5 Flow-Formed Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET35 / 72.56mm CB - Satin Black (BMW) (SM101895ET35-5120-7256-SMBK)
The Apex SM-10 is engineered for BMW enthusiasts who demand lightweight motorsport performance, aggressive styling, and uncompromising durability. Built 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 serious street and track use.
Finished in a stealthy Satin Black finish, this 18x9.5 SM-10 delivers aggressive concavity and precision-engineered flow-formed construction that improves rigidity while reducing rotational mass for enhanced handling, braking response, and overall performance.
Advanced Flow Formed Construction
Apex utilizes advanced flow-forming manufacturing technology to strengthen the wheel barrel while minimizing unnecessary weight. This process improves the aluminum grain structure and mechanical properties, resulting in a wheel that is stronger and lighter than traditional cast alternatives.
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 to reduce rotational weight while maintaining the structural integrity needed for aggressive performance driving.
Reinforced Inner Lip Design
The inner lip is one of the most vulnerable impact zones on any wheel. Apex reinforces this critical area with additional material to improve resistance against potholes, track curbing, berms, 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 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 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.
