Apex SM-10RS 19x11 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET48 / 71.6mm CB - Motorsport Gold (SM10RS1911ET48-5130-716-MGD)
The Apex SM-10RS is a fully forged performance wheel built for drivers who refuse to compromise between strength, stiffness, and weight savings. As a key member of Apex's Sprint Line, the SM-10RS combines advanced forging technology, race-proven engineering, and meticulous design optimization to deliver exceptional performance on both the street and the track. Every aspect of the wheel has been refined to maximize durability, responsiveness, and brake clearance while maintaining an impressively low weight.
Each SM-10RS starts life as a forged 6061-T6 aluminum blank weighing as much as 120 pounds before extensive CNC machining removes every gram of unnecessary material. Formed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the forging process enhances grain structure and material density while minimizing porosity. Apex engineers then apply extensive Finite Element Analysis to strategically reinforce high-stress areas, creating a wheel that is exceptionally lightweight yet engineered to withstand the demands of serious performance driving.

10K Ton Forged Construction
The SM-10RS utilizes an advanced forging process that applies 10,000 metric tons of pressure to premium 6061-T6 aluminum. This process improves grain structure, increases strength, and reduces porosity, creating a wheel foundation capable of handling the most demanding performance environments.
I-Beam Spoke Technology
One of the defining 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 exceptional rigidity and structural integrity.
Engineered for Strength and Stiffness
Extensive Finite Element Analysis allowed Apex engineers to optimize material placement throughout the wheel. Combined with the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, the result is a wheel that offers outstanding durability, increased stiffness, and exceptional impact resistance without a weight penalty.
Motorsport-Focused Details
From paintless knurled bead seats that help prevent tire movement under extreme loads to oversized socket clearance for rapid wheel changes, every detail of the SM-10RS was developed to support serious enthusiasts and racers alike.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x130 Bolt Pattern and 71.6mm Center Bore
- Verify Brake Clearance, Suspension Clearance, Fender Clearance, and Tire Fitment Prior to Installation
