Apex SM-10RS 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x120.65 BP / ET57 / 70.3mm CB - Satin Black (Chevrolet) - SM10RS1811ET57-512065-703-NSBK
The Apex SM-10RS was built for drivers who demand true forged performance without sacrificing durability. As part of Apexs cutting-edge Sprint Line, this 18x11 forged wheel combines ultra-lightweight engineering with race-proven strength, making it an outstanding option for serious Chevrolet street and track builds. Finished in a stealthy Satin Black finish, the SM-10RS delivers aggressive motorsport styling backed by extensive engineering and independent testing.
Manufactured from custom 6061-T6 forged aluminum blanks formed under an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the SM-10RS achieves superior grain structure, increased density, and exceptional structural integrity. Apex engineers then utilize extensive Finite Element Analysis to strategically remove unnecessary material while reinforcing high-load areas. The result is a wheel that offers sharper response, increased stiffness, enhanced brake clearance, and exceptional impact resistance without the weight compromises often associated with traditional motorsport wheels.
