Apex SM-10RS 18x12 Forged Wheel - 5x120.65 BP / ET42 / 70.3mm CB - Anthracite (Chevrolet) - SM10RS1812ET42-512065-703-AN
The Apex SM-10RS is engineered for drivers who demand uncompromising forged performance with true motorsport durability. As part of Apexs advanced Sprint Line wheel collection, this 18x12 forged wheel delivers exceptional stiffness, optimized weight savings, and massive brake clearance for serious Chevrolet performance applications. Finished in a stealthy Anthracite finish, the SM-10RS combines aggressive styling with race-proven engineering built for demanding street and track use.
Constructed from custom 6061-T6 forged aluminum blanks compressed under an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the SM-10RS achieves superior grain structure and increased material strength. Apex engineers then apply extensive Finite Element Analysis technology to strategically remove excess weight while reinforcing critical load zones. The result is a wheel that offers razor-sharp handling response, impressive rigidity, reinforced impact resistance, and reduced unsprung mass without compromising long-term durability.
