Apex SM-10RS 19x9.5 Forged Wheel - Anthracite (SM10RS1995ET29-51143-641-AN)
The Apex SM-10RS represents the next evolution in lightweight forged wheel technology. Designed as part of Apex's Sprint Line, the SM-10RS combines advanced engineering, motorsport-inspired construction, and proprietary forging technology to deliver exceptional strength without unnecessary weight. Finished in Anthracite, this 19x9.5 wheel offers an aggressive appearance backed by serious performance credentials for both street and track enthusiasts.
Constructed from proprietary 10K-ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum blanks, the SM-10RS was engineered to maximize stiffness, brake clearance, and durability while minimizing rotational mass. Through extensive Finite Element Analysis and independent third-party validation, Apex created a wheel capable of delivering precise handling, increased feedback, and the durability required for demanding driving conditions.
10K Ton Forged Construction
Every SM-10RS begins as a forged aluminum blank weighing as much as 120 pounds before machining. Specialized equipment capable of applying 10,000 metric tons of pressure improves the grain structure and eliminates porosity, creating a stronger foundation that allows engineers to remove unnecessary material without compromising durability.
True Motorsport Blanks
Unlike many manufacturers that rely on generic third-party forgings, Apex developed proprietary motorsport-specific forging blanks from the ground up. This allows complete control over wheel dimensions, brake clearance, spoke geometry, and concavity profiles for maximum performance.
I-Beam Spoke Technology
The SM-10RS features side-milled spokes that create an I-beam profile. Precision CNC machining removes excess material from both sides of each spoke, reducing weight while maintaining exceptional rigidity and strength in critical load-bearing areas.
A Stronger Lightweight Wheel
Rather than sacrificing durability in the pursuit of lower weight, Apex strategically reinforced critical stress areas after removing unnecessary material. This process creates a stronger inner lip and increased load capacity while preserving the lightweight performance characteristics enthusiasts demand.
Weight Optimized Through FEA
Advanced Finite Element Analysis was used throughout development to optimize material placement. Areas subjected to high loads were reinforced while material was removed from low-stress regions, resulting in outstanding strength-to-weight ratios.
Greater Stiffness
Through optimized spoke geometry and bending-load analysis, the SM-10RS delivers nearly 10 percent greater stiffness than the VS-5RS while remaining nearly identical in weight. Compared to Apex's first-generation forged wheels, stiffness improvements approach 25 percent.
Independent Third-Party Testing
Testing performed by STL in Ohio exceeds traditional JWL requirements through higher impact heights, longer test durations, and increased load capacities. This independent validation helps ensure durability under severe conditions.
Sprint Spec Reinforced Inner Lip
The reinforced Sprint spec inner lip utilizes a unique channel profile designed to improve impact resistance. Despite weighing less than many comparable wheels, the SM-10RS offers exceptional durability against potholes and track abuse.
Massive Brake Clearance
A high-clearance barrel design combined with application-specific spoke profiles developed using advanced 3D scanning technology provides compatibility with many factory and aftermarket brake systems.
Deep Concavity
Redesigned forging architecture allows Apex to create aggressive concave profiles while preserving critical brake clearance and structural integrity.
Paintless Knurled Bead Seats
Paintless knurled bead seats remain sharp and effective over time, helping reduce tire slippage during hard acceleration and braking.
Track-Ready Features
The SM-10RS accommodates oversized race lugs and impact sockets for quick wheel changes. Laser-engraved specifications remain easy to identify throughout the life of the wheel.
Hub-Centric and TPMS Compatible
SM-10RS wheels are engineered to be hub-centric whenever possible and are compatible with OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors along with standard valve stems.
