Apex SM-10RS 18x10.5 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET44 / 71.6mm CB - Satin Bronze (Porsche) - SM10RS18105ET44-5130-716-NSBZ
The Apex SM-10RS is engineered for Porsche drivers who demand uncompromising performance, durability, and lightweight efficiency from their wheel setup. As part of Apexs advanced Sprint Line forged wheel collection, the SM-10RS combines cutting-edge forged construction with motorsport-focused engineering to deliver exceptional stiffness, massive brake clearance, and reduced rotational mass. Finished in an aggressive Satin Bronze finish, this wheel delivers track-ready performance with standout styling for both street and competition builds.
Every SM-10RS wheel starts as a custom motorsport-specific forged blank produced under an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure. This process dramatically improves material strength and grain structure while eliminating porosity for increased durability under extreme loads. Apex then uses extensive Finite Element Analysis to optimize strength-to-weight ratios by reinforcing critical stress areas while removing unnecessary mass. The result is a forged wheel featuring deeper concavity, enhanced rigidity, and a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip designed to withstand serious track abuse.
