Apex SM-10RS 19x10.5 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET44 / 71.6mm CB - Satin Black (SM10RS19105ET44-5130-716-NSBK)
The Apex SM-10RS is the ultimate expression of lightweight forged wheel engineering, designed for enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance on both the street and the track. As part of Apex's Sprint Line, the SM-10RS combines advanced forged construction, motorsport-focused design, and extensive independent testing to deliver exceptional strength, stiffness, and brake clearance without unnecessary weight.
Manufactured from a proprietary 6061-T6 aluminum forging compressed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the SM-10RS achieves outstanding structural integrity through improved grain flow and reduced material porosity. The result is a wheel that remains incredibly light while providing the durability and confidence required for aggressive driving conditions.

Engineered for Real Performance
Unlike wheels built from generic third-party forgings, the SM-10RS begins with Apex-developed motorsport-specific blanks that allow complete control over wheel geometry, brake clearance, spoke design, and concavity. These specialized forgings provide engineers with the flexibility needed to maximize strength while minimizing unnecessary mass.
Each forging starts as a blank weighing as much as 120 pounds before extensive CNC machining removes every gram of material that does not contribute to performance.
Advanced I-Beam Spoke Technology
The signature I-beam spoke design utilizes precision side milling on both sides of every spoke. This process removes excess material while maintaining structural rigidity, resulting in a wheel that offers exceptional responsiveness without sacrificing strength.
Using advanced Finite Element Analysis, Apex optimized spoke geometry to increase stiffness while maintaining low weight. The SM-10RS is nearly 10% stiffer than the VS-5RS and approximately 25% stiffer than Apex's original forged wheel designs.
Sprint Spec Strength
To eliminate the compromises often associated with lightweight wheels, Apex developed the Sprint Spec inner lip. A unique reinforced channel profile increases impact resistance and durability while preserving the lightweight characteristics demanded by serious drivers.
Paintless knurled bead seats help maximize tire retention under hard acceleration and braking, reducing tire slippage and maintaining proper wheel balance during track use.

FAQs
What makes the SM-10RS different from a flow-formed wheel?
The SM-10RS utilizes a fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum construction, allowing significantly greater strength, stiffness, and weight optimization compared to traditional flow-formed wheels.
Can this wheel be used with factory TPMS sensors?
Yes. The SM-10RS is fully compatible with OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors and standard valve stems.
