Apex SM-10RS 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET52 / 70.5mm CB - Anthracite (Ford) - SM10RS1811ET52-51143-705-AN
Built for drivers who refuse to compromise between lightweight performance and real-world durability, the Apex SM-10RS delivers forged strength and motorsport engineering in a purpose-built package for aggressive Ford applications. Finished in a rich Anthracite finish, this 18x11 forged wheel combines deep concavity, massive brake clearance, and track-focused rigidity with a clean motorsport-inspired design that looks just as good in the paddock as it does on the street.
Part of Apexs Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, the SM-10RS is manufactured using custom 6061-T6 forged aluminum blanks compressed under 10,000 metric tons of pressure. Advanced Finite Element Analysis was used throughout development to remove excess material while reinforcing critical load areas for superior strength and stiffness. The result is a wheel that remains exceptionally lightweight while offering enhanced durability, improved steering response, and reinforced impact resistance for demanding track environments.
