Apex SM-10RS 17x10 Forged Wheel - 5x100 BP / ET45 / 56.1mm CB - Brushed Clear (Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ) - SM10RS1710ET45-5100-561-BC
The Apex SM-10RS delivers uncompromising forged performance for enthusiasts who demand lightweight strength, razor-sharp responsiveness, and true motorsport durability. Designed as part of Apexs Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, the SM-10RS combines advanced engineering, aggressive styling, and race-proven construction into a wheel built to thrive under serious driving conditions. Finished in Brushed Clear, this 17x10 setup offers an aggressive appearance backed by genuine track-ready capability.
Manufactured from proprietary 10K ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum blanks, the SM-10RS was engineered to minimize weight without compromising structural integrity. Apex utilized extensive Finite Element Analysis to optimize spoke geometry, reinforce high-stress areas, and remove unnecessary material wherever possible. The result is an exceptionally lightweight forged wheel that maintains the durability and stiffness required for hard launches, aggressive cornering, and repeated track abuse.
Purpose-Built Motorsport Engineering
Unlike many lightweight wheels that rely on generic third-party forgings, the SM-10RS utilizes motorsport-specific forged blanks developed entirely in-house by Apex. This allows for optimized brake clearance, deeper concavity, improved spoke geometry, and increased structural rigidity. The advanced I-beam spoke design features aggressive side milling on both sides of each spoke, reducing unnecessary mass while preserving exceptional strength and stiffness.
The reinforced Sprint spec inner lip increases durability in critical impact zones, while paintless knurled bead seats help prevent tire slippage under heavy acceleration and braking. Oversized race lug and impact socket compatibility make wheel changes faster and easier for drivers who spend time both on the street and at the track.
