Apex SM-10RS 18x10 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET40 / 70.5mm CB - Anthracite (Ford) - SM10RS1810ET40-51143-705-AN
Designed for serious performance enthusiasts, the Apex SM-10RS delivers lightweight forged strength, enhanced rigidity, and aggressive motorsport styling tailored for demanding Ford applications. Finished in a sleek Anthracite coating, this Sprint Line wheel was engineered to handle everything from spirited street driving to repeated abuse at the track while maintaining exceptional responsiveness and durability.
The SM-10RS is manufactured using Apexs proprietary motorsport-specific forging blanks, formed under an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure to create an ultra-dense 6061-T6 forged aluminum structure. Extensive Finite Element Analysis allowed Apex engineers to optimize spoke geometry, reinforce critical load zones, and remove excess material for maximum performance efficiency. The result is a wheel with impressive stiffness, massive brake clearance, reinforced Sprint spec inner lips, and reduced weight without sacrificing reliability under extreme conditions.
