Apex SM-10RS 19x11 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET52 / 70.5mm CB - Anthracite (SM10RS1911ET52-51143-705-AN)
The Apex SM-10RS is a fully forged wheel engineered to deliver exceptional performance, strength, and durability without the weight penalties often associated with high-strength wheel designs. As part of Apex's Sprint Line, the SM-10RS combines advanced forging technology, extensive engineering analysis, and motorsport-focused features to create a wheel capable of excelling in demanding street and track environments.
Manufactured from forged 6061-T6 aluminum and formed under an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure, each SM-10RS begins as a forging weighing up to 120 pounds before undergoing extensive CNC machining. Apex engineers utilize advanced Finite Element Analysis to strategically remove unnecessary material while reinforcing critical load-bearing areas. The result is a wheel that remains remarkably lightweight while delivering exceptional stiffness, impact resistance, and long-term durability.

10K Ton Forged Performance
The SM-10RS begins with a purpose-built forged blank formed under 10,000 metric tons of pressure. This process improves aluminum grain structure, increases material density, and minimizes porosity, creating an exceptionally strong foundation capable of handling the demands of high-performance driving.
I-Beam Spoke Technology
One of the most recognizable features of the SM-10RS is its precision-machined I-beam spoke design. By removing excess material from both sides of each spoke, Apex reduces weight while maintaining the strength and rigidity necessary for aggressive street and track use.
Optimized for Strength and Stiffness
Extensive Finite Element Analysis allowed Apex engineers to strategically reinforce critical stress areas while eliminating unnecessary mass. Combined with the stronger Sprint spec inner lip, the result is a wheel that offers exceptional durability, stiffness, and impact resistance.
Motorsport-Focused Engineering
From paintless knurled bead seats that help maintain tire grip under heavy loads to oversized socket clearance for rapid wheel changes, every aspect of the SM-10RS was designed to meet the needs of serious enthusiasts. Independent testing beyond JWL standards further validates its real-world performance capabilities.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x114.3 Bolt Pattern and 70.5mm Center Bore
