Apex SM-10RS 17x9 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET61 / 70.1mm CB - Satin Bronze (Honda) - SM10RS179ET61-51143-701-NSBZ
The Apex SM-10RS was engineered for enthusiasts who demand lightweight performance, exceptional rigidity, and real-world durability from their wheel setup. As part of Apexs Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, the SM-10RS combines advanced forging technology, aggressive weight optimization, and motorsport-focused engineering to create a wheel capable of handling serious street and track abuse. Finished in a bold Satin Bronze finish, this 17x9 configuration delivers aggressive styling, increased stiffness, and massive brake clearance for high-performance applications.
Manufactured using custom motorsport-specific forgings formed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the SM-10RS achieves exceptional structural strength while remaining remarkably lightweight. Apex engineers utilized extensive Finite Element Analysis testing to strategically remove unnecessary material while reinforcing critical stress areas throughout the wheel structure. The result is improved rigidity, a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, and a forged wheel engineered to withstand repeated hard launches, aggressive cornering, and heavy braking conditions.
