Apex SM-10RS 19x9.5 Forged Wheel - Satin Black (SM10RS1995ET28-5120-7256-NSBK)
The Apex SM-10RS was engineered for enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance from every component of their vehicle. Part of Apex's Sprint Line of forged wheels, the SM-10RS combines advanced 10K-ton forging technology with extensive engineering analysis to create a wheel that delivers exceptional strength, increased stiffness, and reduced weight. Finished in Satin Black, this 19x9.5 wheel offers an aggressive appearance backed by race-proven capability for both street and track applications.
Built from proprietary 6061-T6 aluminum forgings, the SM-10RS was developed to maximize brake clearance, improve steering response, and withstand the rigors of repeated performance driving. Through advanced Finite Element Analysis and independent third-party testing, Apex optimized every aspect of the wheel to deliver durability and confidence without unnecessary weight.
10K Ton Forged Construction
Every SM-10RS begins as a forged aluminum blank weighing up to 120 pounds before machining. Specialized forging equipment capable of applying 10,000 metric tons of pressure refines the aluminum grain structure while minimizing porosity, resulting in superior strength and durability. This stronger foundation allows Apex engineers to remove material where it is unnecessary while maintaining structural integrity.
Proprietary Motorsport Blanks
Rather than utilizing generic third-party forgings, Apex developed motorsport-specific forging blanks in-house. This gives engineers complete control over dimensions, spoke geometry, brake clearance, and concavity profiles, allowing the SM-10RS to be optimized for maximum performance.
Side-Milled I-Beam Spokes
Precision CNC machining removes excess material from both sides of each spoke to create an I-beam profile. This process minimizes weight while preserving strength in critical load-bearing areas, improving responsiveness and reducing rotational mass without compromising durability.
Stronger Lightweight Design
The SM-10RS was engineered to be lightweight without sacrificing durability. After removing unnecessary material, Apex strategically reinforced critical areas to create a stronger inner lip and higher load capacity. The result is a lightweight wheel designed to withstand demanding use.
Advanced FEA Optimization
Extensive Finite Element Analysis helped engineers determine where material could be removed and where additional reinforcement was necessary. This process allowed Apex to create a wheel that is exceptionally lightweight while maintaining outstanding strength.
Increased Stiffness
Optimized spoke geometry and bending-load analysis resulted in a wheel that is nearly 10 percent stiffer than the VS-5RS and approximately 25 percent stiffer than Apex's first-generation forged wheels, all while maintaining similar weight.
Independent Third-Party Testing
The SM-10RS is validated through independent testing by STL in Ohio. Testing exceeds standard JWL requirements with increased load capacities, higher impact drop heights, and extended testing durations to ensure reliability under severe conditions.
Sprint Spec Reinforced Inner Lip
Apex's unique Sprint spec inner lip incorporates a reinforced channel profile designed to improve impact resistance. Despite being lighter than many comparable wheels, the SM-10RS delivers impressive durability against potholes and track abuse.
Massive Brake Clearance
A high-clearance barrel design and application-specific spoke profiles developed using advanced laser scanning technology allow the SM-10RS to accommodate many factory and aftermarket brake systems.
Deep Concavity
Redesigned forgings allow Apex to create aggressive concave profiles while maintaining optimal brake clearance. Every profile is engineered for maximum performance and appearance.
Paintless Knurled Bead Seats
Unpainted knurled bead seats help maximize tire retention under hard acceleration and braking, reducing the likelihood of tire slippage and balance issues.
Track-Ready Details
The SM-10RS is designed to accommodate oversized race lugs and impact sockets, making wheel changes faster and easier. Laser-engraved specifications remain easy to read throughout the life of the wheel.
Hub-Centric and TPMS Compatible
SM-10RS wheels are engineered to be hub-centric whenever possible and accept OEM and aftermarket Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors along with standard valve stems.
