Apex SM-10RS 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x120.65 BP / ET57 / 70.3mm CB - Motorsport Gold (Chevrolet) - SM10RS1811ET57-512065-703-MGD
The Apex SM-10RS was engineered for enthusiasts who refuse to compromise between lightweight performance and true motorsport durability. As part of Apexs advanced Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, this 18x11 configuration delivers exceptional rigidity, optimized weight savings, and serious brake clearance for high-performance Chevrolet applications. Finished in an aggressive Motorsport Gold finish, the SM-10RS adds race-inspired styling backed by uncompromising engineering.
Built from custom 6061-T6 forged aluminum blanks compressed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the SM-10RS achieves outstanding structural integrity and material density. Apex then utilizes advanced Finite Element Analysis technology to strategically remove unnecessary mass while strengthening critical load zones. The result is a forged wheel that remains remarkably lightweight while delivering enhanced stiffness, sharper steering response, and reinforced durability for demanding street and track use.
