Apex SM-10RS 18x10.5 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET44 / 71.6mm CB - Satin Black (Porsche) - SM10RS18105ET44-5130-716-NSBK
The Apex SM-10RS was engineered for Porsche enthusiasts who refuse to compromise between lightweight performance and real-world durability. Part of Apexs advanced Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, the SM-10RS delivers exceptional rigidity, motorsport-grade strength, and aggressive styling in a lightweight package optimized for both street and track use. Finished in a stealthy Satin Black finish, this wheel delivers a clean motorsport aesthetic while supporting serious high-performance driving demands.
Each SM-10RS wheel begins as a custom-designed forged motorsport blank produced under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure. This forging process dramatically improves aluminum grain structure while eliminating porosity for maximum strength and reliability. Apex then utilizes advanced Finite Element Analysis to strategically reduce weight while reinforcing high-stress areas. The result is a forged wheel featuring enhanced stiffness, a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, deep concavity, and exceptional brake clearance without sacrificing durability.
