Apex SM-10RE 18x9 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET41 / 71.6mm CB - Satin Black (Porsche Clubsport) SM10RE189ET41-5130-716-CS-NSBK
The Apex SM-10RE was engineered for drivers who demand uncompromising durability, rigidity, and motorsport-focused performance under the harshest track conditions. As the forged Enduro version of the highly regarded SM-10 platform, the SM-10RE was built specifically for endurance racing, aggressive lapping, high-grip tire setups, and heavy aero applications where standard lightweight wheels can become a limitation.
Instead of sacrificing strength in pursuit of the absolute lowest weight possible, Apex reinforced the SM-10RE in the critical high-load areas that matter most during real-world motorsport abuse. Featuring a heavy-duty Enduro Spec inner lip, reinforced front lip construction, and significantly stiffer spoke architecture, the SM-10RE delivers approximately 30 percent greater strength than the RS version while maintaining exceptional steering precision and driver feedback.
Extreme Strength for Demanding Track Use
The SM-10RE utilizes Apexs strongest Enduro Spec inner lip ever developed, featuring 50 percent additional reinforcement to better withstand curbing impacts, potholes, berm strikes, and repeated high-load track abuse. Apex also added extra material to the front lip for improved durability during aggressive driving conditions.
Each wheel is manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using a massive 10,000 ton forging process that improves grain structure while eliminating porosity for exceptional strength and long-term structural integrity.
Stiffer Spokes for Better Feedback
The redesigned side-milled spokes are approximately 20 to 25 percent stiffer than Apex Sprint Line wheels. Increased wheel rigidity helps minimize camber loss during hard cornering, improving steering feel, responsiveness, and tire wear consistency during demanding track sessions.
Extensive side-milling removes unnecessary material while preserving structural integrity, allowing the SM-10RE to maintain impressive strength-to-weight characteristics.
Track-Proven Engineering
Unlike many manufacturers using generic third-party forgings, Apex developed proprietary motorsport-specific blank profiles to maximize brake clearance, optimize spoke geometry, and create aggressive concavity profiles tailored to specific applications.
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was utilized throughout development to strengthen high-load areas while eliminating excess material from low-stress sections. The result is a wheel that delivers exceptional durability with only a minimal weight increase over lighter Sprint Line counterparts.
Motorsport Features Throughout
The SM-10RE incorporates paintless knurled beads to help reduce tire slippage under hard acceleration and braking, while the paintless barrel design reduces rotational inertia in the area where weight reduction has the greatest performance benefit.
Additional race-focused details include oversized lug openings compatible with impact sockets and race lugs, laser-engraved wheel specifications for easy identification, CNC-machined outer lip pocketing for reduced rotational mass, and a capless hub design that eliminates unnecessary weight.
Every Enduro Line wheel is independently tested by ITS in Michigan at loads and durations exceeding standard JWL requirements for additional confidence under severe racing conditions.
