Apex SM-10RS 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET52 / 70.5mm CB - Satin Black (Ford) - SM10RS1811ET52-51143-705-NSBK
When maximum grip, precise steering response, and race-ready durability matter, the Apex SM-10RS delivers. Engineered as part of Apexs Sprint Line forged wheel series, this 18x11 configuration combines lightweight forged construction with reinforced structural strength to handle aggressive street driving, track days, drag racing, and high-speed road course abuse. Finished in a clean Satin Black finish, the SM-10RS gives Ford performance builds an unmistakable motorsport look backed by serious engineering.
The SM-10RS is manufactured from custom 6061-T6 forged aluminum blanks compressed under an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure. Apex then utilizes advanced Finite Element Analysis to strategically remove unnecessary material while reinforcing critical load areas for greater stiffness and impact resistance. The result is a wheel that remains incredibly lightweight without sacrificing durability, making it ideal for enthusiasts demanding both performance and reliability.
