Apex SM-10RS 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET44 / 72.56mm CB - Satin Black (BMW) - SM10RS1811ET44-5120-7256-NSBK
The Apex SM-10RS is engineered for BMW enthusiasts who demand uncompromising forged performance on both the street and the track. Finished in a stealthy Satin Black finish, this fully forged 18x11 wheel blends aggressive motorsport styling with lightweight engineering and race-ready durability. Whether you are attacking apexes during a track session or refining the stance and handling of your BMW, the SM-10RS delivers the strength, stiffness, and brake clearance serious drivers expect.
As part of Apexs Sprint Line forged wheel collection, the SM-10RS is manufactured from custom-designed 6061-T6 forged aluminum blanks formed under an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure. Extensive Finite Element Analysis was used throughout development to reinforce high-load areas while removing unnecessary material to optimize weight savings and structural rigidity. The result is a wheel that remains exceptionally lightweight without compromising durability, impact resistance, or steering precision.
