Apex SM-10RS 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET44 / 72.56mm CB - Anthracite (BMW) - SM10RS1811ET44-5120-7256-AN
The Apex SM-10RS is engineered for BMW enthusiasts who demand true motorsport performance without compromise. Finished in a stealthy Anthracite finish, this fully forged 18x11 wheel combines aggressive styling, lightweight construction, and race-proven durability into a package built for serious street and track duty. Whether you are chasing faster lap times or dialing in the perfect aggressive stance, the SM-10RS delivers exceptional strength, stiffness, and brake clearance in a purpose-built design.
As part of Apexs Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, the SM-10RS utilizes custom-designed motorsport forging blanks produced under an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure. Extensive Finite Element Analysis was used throughout development to optimize spoke geometry, reinforce high-stress areas, and remove unnecessary material for maximum performance efficiency. The result is a wheel that remains exceptionally lightweight while offering increased stiffness, reinforced impact resistance, and track-ready reliability.
