Apex SM-10RS 17x9 Forged Wheel - 5x100 BP / ET48 / 56.1mm CB - Anthracite (Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ) - SM10RS179ET48-5100-561-AN
The Apex SM-10RS was engineered for enthusiasts who demand lightweight performance without sacrificing durability or rigidity. As part of Apexs Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, the SM-10RS combines advanced forging technology, motorsport-focused engineering, and aggressive weight optimization to create a wheel built for serious street and track use. Finished in a sleek Anthracite finish, this 17x9 configuration delivers aggressive styling, massive brake clearance, and the stiffness needed for high-performance driving.
Manufactured from custom motorsport-specific forgings using an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the SM-10RS achieves exceptional strength while remaining remarkably lightweight. Apex utilized extensive Finite Element Analysis testing to strategically remove unnecessary material while reinforcing high-stress areas throughout the wheel structure. The result is improved rigidity, a stronger Sprint spec inner lip, and a forged wheel engineered to withstand repeated hard launches, aggressive cornering, and heavy braking conditions.
