Apex SM-10RS 18x10.5 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET44 / 71.6mm CB - Motorsport Gold (Porsche) - SM10RS18105ET44-5130-716-MGD
Built for serious Porsche enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance, the Apex SM-10RS combines lightweight forged construction with race-proven durability and advanced engineering. Part of Apexs Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, the SM-10RS delivers the ideal balance of reduced rotational mass, enhanced rigidity, and massive brake clearance for aggressive street driving, track days, and dedicated motorsport applications. Finished in an eye-catching Motorsport Gold finish, this wheel adds aggressive styling while maintaining the functional engineering Apex is known for.
Each SM-10RS wheel begins as a custom motorsport-specific forged blank formed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure. That intense forging process improves grain structure and eliminates porosity for exceptional strength and durability. Apex then utilizes extensive Finite Element Analysis to remove unnecessary material while reinforcing critical load areas. The result is a forged wheel featuring a stronger Sprint spec inner lip, improved stiffness, deeper concavity, and outstanding impact resistance without excessive weight.
