Apex SM-10RS 19x11 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET52 / 70.5mm CB - Satin Bronze (SM10RS1911ET52-51143-705-NSBZ)
The Apex SM-10RS was engineered for drivers who refuse to compromise between weight, strength, and durability. As a flagship member of Apex's Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, the SM-10RS delivers cutting-edge motorsport engineering, advanced forged construction, and track-proven performance in a package designed to excel on both the street and circuit. Every aspect of this wheel was developed to maximize performance while maintaining the reliability serious enthusiasts demand.
Starting life as a forged 6061-T6 aluminum blank weighing as much as 120 pounds, each SM-10RS is formed under an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure before undergoing extensive CNC machining. This forging process improves grain structure, reduces porosity, and increases material strength. Apex then uses extensive Finite Element Analysis to strategically reinforce high-load areas while removing excess material wherever possible, resulting in a wheel that is exceptionally lightweight, remarkably stiff, and built to withstand serious abuse.

Forged Sprint Line Engineering
The SM-10RS is manufactured using Apex's proprietary forged wheel development process. Purpose-built motorsport blanks and 10K-ton forging technology provide the foundation for a wheel that offers exceptional strength while maintaining an incredibly low overall weight.
I-Beam Spoke Design
Each spoke incorporates extensive side milling to create an advanced I-beam profile. This design removes unnecessary material while maintaining structural rigidity, allowing the wheel to achieve impressive weight savings without sacrificing durability.
Optimized Stiffness and Strength
Extensive computer modeling and Finite Element Analysis enabled Apex engineers to refine spoke geometry and reinforce critical load areas. The resulting wheel delivers nearly 10% greater stiffness than the VS-5RS and approximately 25% greater stiffness than Apex's first-generation forged wheel designs.
Track-Ready Features
The SM-10RS includes a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, paintless knurled bead seats, oversized socket clearance, laser-engraved specifications, and exceptional brake clearance. These motorsport-inspired features help maximize performance and simplify maintenance for enthusiasts who regularly push their vehicles to the limit.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x114.3 Bolt Pattern and 70.5mm Center Bore
- Verify Brake Clearance, Suspension Clearance, Fender Clearance, and Tire Fitment Prior to Installation
FAQs
Why are paintless knurled bead seats beneficial?
Paintless knurled bead seats provide maximum grip between the wheel and tire, helping reduce tire slippage during repeated hard acceleration, braking, and track use.
Can I use OEM TPMS sensors with these wheels?
Yes. The SM-10RS accepts both OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors and is compatible with standard valve stems.
