Apex SM-10RS 19x10.5 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET44 / 71.6mm CB - Brushed Clear (SM10RS19105ET44-5130-716-BC)
The Apex SM-10RS is engineered for drivers who demand elite performance from every component on their vehicle. As part of Apex's Sprint Line of forged wheels, the SM-10RS combines advanced lightweight engineering with exceptional strength, stiffness, and durability. Designed using lessons learned from years of motorsport development, this wheel delivers race-ready capability without compromising everyday drivability.
Constructed from a proprietary 6061-T6 forged aluminum blank subjected to an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the SM-10RS achieves outstanding material density and structural integrity. Extensive Finite Element Analysis, aggressive weight optimization, and motorsport-focused design features allow this wheel to deliver remarkable performance whether you're attacking apexes on track or carving through back roads.

Forged for Maximum Performance
The SM-10RS begins life as a forging weighing up to 120 pounds before machining. This extreme forging process dramatically improves aluminum grain structure while reducing porosity, resulting in superior strength and durability. Apex then machines the wheel from proprietary motorsport-specific blanks developed in-house to maximize brake clearance, wheel concavity, spoke geometry, and overall performance potential.
Using advanced Finite Element Analysis, Apex strategically reinforces high-stress areas while removing excess material that does not contribute to structural integrity. The result is a wheel that remains exceptionally lightweight without sacrificing durability.
Advanced I-Beam Spoke Technology
The SM-10RS utilizes Apex's signature side-milled I-beam spoke design. Material is carefully machined from both sides of each spoke using precision CNC machining, reducing rotational mass while maintaining exceptional rigidity. This advanced design helps improve steering response, handling precision, and overall wheel stiffness.
Compared to previous forged wheel designs, the SM-10RS offers approximately 25% greater stiffness while remaining remarkably lightweight. It is also nearly 10% stiffer than the popular VS-5RS despite similar overall weight.
Built for Track Abuse and Street Duty
A reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip improves impact resistance while maintaining lightweight characteristics. Massive brake clearance accommodates many factory and aftermarket brake systems, while paintless knurled bead seats help prevent tire slippage during repeated hard acceleration and braking.
Independent testing through STL validates the wheel's performance using standards that exceed traditional JWL requirements, including increased loads, higher impact forces, and extended testing durations.
