Apex SM-10RE 18x10.5 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET47 / 71.6mm CB - Anthracite (Porsche Clubsport) SM10RE18105ET47-5130-716-CS-AN
The Apex SM-10RE was engineered for serious track enthusiasts and endurance racers who need more than just a lightweight wheel. As the forged Enduro evolution of the proven SM-10 platform, the SM-10RE delivers substantially increased strength, improved rigidity, and race-ready durability designed to withstand repeated abuse from high-grip tires, aerodynamic downforce, aggressive curbing, and relentless lap sessions.
Built specifically for demanding motorsport environments, the SM-10RE combines fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Apexs strongest Enduro Spec lip design and stiffer side-milled spokes. The result is a forged wheel that is approximately 30 percent stronger than the RS version while improving steering precision, reducing camber loss, and maintaining excellent responsiveness during hard driving.
Enduro Engineering for Maximum Durability
The SM-10RE features Apexs strongest inner lip ever developed, reinforced with 50 percent additional material to better survive potholes, berm strikes, track curbing, and off-track excursions. Apex also reinforced the front lip area to improve durability in the harsh conditions experienced during endurance racing and high-performance track use.
Every wheel is manufactured using an immense 10,000 ton forging process that enhances the aluminum grain structure while eliminating porosity for exceptional strength and long-term durability under extreme loads.
Stiffer Spokes for Improved Response
The redesigned side-milled spokes on the SM-10RE are approximately 20 to 25 percent stiffer than Apex Sprint Line wheels. Increased wheel rigidity helps reduce camber loss during hard cornering, improving steering feel, tire wear consistency, and driver confidence on track.
Wide and deep side-milled spoke machining removes unnecessary material without sacrificing strength, helping keep overall rotational weight impressively low for a wheel with this level of reinforcement.
Advanced Motorsport Technology
Unlike generic third-party forgings, Apex developed proprietary motorsport-specific blank profiles to maximize brake clearance, optimize spoke geometry, and allow for deeper concavity profiles. Extensive Finite Element Analysis testing allowed engineers to reinforce critical stress zones while removing material from low-stress areas to optimize overall wheel performance.
Additional track-focused features include paintless knurled beads for improved tire retention under repeated braking and acceleration, a paintless barrel to reduce rotational inertia, oversized lug openings for impact socket compatibility, and laser-engraved wheel specifications for easy identification.
Independently Tested Performance
The SM-10RE is independently tested by ITS in Michigan using significantly higher loads and longer test durations than standard JWL requirements. This additional testing validates the wheels ability to survive real-world motorsport abuse under demanding track conditions.

FAQs
What makes the SM-10RE ideal for endurance racing?
The SM-10RE was engineered specifically for high-load track environments with reinforced lips, increased spoke stiffness, forged 6061-T6 construction, and a massive 2100 pound load rating for long-term durability under repeated abuse.
Does the SM-10RE support large brake kits?
Yes. Apex designed the SM-10RE using vehicle-specific spoke profiles and high-clearance barrel geometry to maximize big brake compatibility. Clearance should still be verified prior to installation.
