Apex SM-10RS 19x11 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET48 / 71.6mm CB - Anthracite (SM10RS1911ET48-5130-716-AN)
The Apex SM-10RS is a fully forged performance wheel designed for enthusiasts who demand lightweight responsiveness, exceptional durability, and race-proven engineering. As part of Apex's Sprint Line, the SM-10RS blends advanced forging technology, extensive Finite Element Analysis, and motorsport-focused design to deliver outstanding stiffness, strength, and brake clearance without carrying unnecessary weight.
Each SM-10RS begins as a forged 6061-T6 aluminum blank weighing up to 120 pounds before undergoing extensive CNC machining. Formed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the forging process enhances material density and grain structure while reducing porosity. Apex engineers then strategically remove excess material and reinforce critical stress areas, resulting in a wheel that is exceptionally lightweight while maintaining the durability and rigidity demanded by serious performance drivers.

10K Ton Forged Engineering
The SM-10RS utilizes an advanced forging process that applies 10,000 metric tons of pressure to premium 6061-T6 aluminum. This manufacturing method improves grain structure, increases material density, and creates a stronger foundation capable of withstanding demanding street and track environments.
I-Beam Spoke Technology
One of the signature characteristics of the SM-10RS is its precision-machined I-beam spoke design. Material is removed from both sides of each spoke using advanced CNC machining techniques, reducing weight while preserving the strength and rigidity necessary for high-performance driving.
Strength Without the Weight Penalty
Through extensive Finite Element Analysis, Apex optimized every section of the wheel to maximize performance. Critical areas were reinforced with additional material where necessary, including the stronger Sprint spec inner lip, resulting in impressive durability without sacrificing lightweight performance.
Built for Real Motorsport Use
Independent testing, paintless knurled bead seats, oversized socket clearance, and laser-engraved specifications demonstrate Apex's commitment to building wheels that perform in the real world. Every detail was engineered to support enthusiasts who push their vehicles to the limit.
