Apex SM-10RS 18x10 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET40 / 70.5mm CB - Satin Black (Ford) - SM10RS1810ET40-51143-705-NSBK
The Apex SM-10RS was engineered for drivers who demand uncompromising forged performance on both the street and the track. Finished in a stealthy Satin Black coating, this lightweight Sprint Line wheel combines aggressive styling, exceptional rigidity, and motorsport-grade durability for Ford enthusiasts pushing their setups to the limit.
Manufactured using proprietary motorsport-specific forged blanks, the SM-10RS begins life under an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure to create an ultra-dense forged 6061-T6 aluminum structure. Apex then uses advanced Finite Element Analysis to optimize spoke geometry, reduce unnecessary material, and reinforce high-stress areas for improved stiffness and impact resistance. The result is a forged wheel with massive brake clearance, deep concavity, reinforced Sprint spec inner lips, and outstanding strength without excessive weight.
