Apex SM-10RS 17x9 Forged Wheel - 5x100 BP / ET35 / 56.1mm CB - Anthracite (Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ) - SM10RS179ET35-5100-561-AN
The Apex SM-10RS was engineered for enthusiasts who demand true motorsport performance without compromising durability. Built as part of Apexs premium Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, the SM-10RS combines advanced forging technology, aggressive weight optimization, and increased stiffness to deliver a wheel that performs as good as it looks. Finished in a sleek Anthracite finish, this 17x9 configuration is ideal for drivers looking to maximize handling response, brake clearance, and strength on both street and track applications.
Unlike many lightweight wheels that sacrifice durability in pursuit of lower weight numbers, the SM-10RS was engineered with real-world abuse in mind. Apex used extensive Finite Element Analysis testing to remove unnecessary material while strategically reinforcing critical load areas. The result is a forged wheel that remains exceptionally lightweight while offering increased stiffness, improved impact resistance, and a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip designed to withstand repeated hard driving conditions.
