Apex SM-10RS 18x12 Forged Wheel - 5x120.65 BP / ET46 / 70.3mm CB - Satin Bronze (Chevrolet) - SM10RS1812ET46-512065-703-NSBZ
The Apex SM-10RS was engineered for drivers who demand elite-level strength, reduced rotational mass, and uncompromising motorsport performance. Built as part of Apexs Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, this 18x12 configuration combines aggressive fitment capability with an ultra-strong forged construction and a striking Satin Bronze finish that stands out both at the track and on the street.
Manufactured from forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the SM-10RS achieves exceptional structural integrity while remaining impressively lightweight. Apex developed proprietary motorsport-specific forgings to maximize brake clearance, spoke concavity, and strength in critical areas. Combined with I-beam side-milled spokes, reinforced Sprint spec inner lips, and extensive Finite Element Analysis optimization, this wheel delivers precise handling response, improved stiffness, and durability built to withstand demanding performance driving.
