Apex SM-10RS 19x9.5 Forged Wheel - Brushed Clear (SM10RS1995ET29-51143-641-BC)
The Apex SM-10RS is engineered for drivers who demand elite-level performance without compromise. As part of Apex's Sprint Line, the SM-10RS combines advanced forging technology with race-proven engineering to create a wheel that delivers exceptional strength, reduced weight, and increased stiffness. Finished in Brushed Clear, this 19x9.5 wheel provides a premium appearance while offering the durability and performance required for spirited street driving and track use alike.
Constructed from proprietary 10K-ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum blanks, the SM-10RS was designed to maximize brake clearance, steering response, and structural integrity. Through extensive Finite Element Analysis and independent testing beyond traditional industry standards, Apex created a wheel that delivers the confidence enthusiasts demand without sacrificing weight or durability.
10K Ton Forged Construction
Every SM-10RS begins life as a forged aluminum blank weighing up to 120 pounds before machining. Specialized equipment capable of applying 10,000 metric tons of pressure improves grain structure and minimizes porosity, resulting in exceptional strength and durability. This process creates a stronger foundation that allows engineers to optimize weight without compromising integrity.
True Motorsport Blanks
Unlike many manufacturers that utilize generic third-party forgings, Apex developed proprietary motorsport-specific blanks from the ground up. This provides complete control over wheel dimensions, brake clearance, spoke geometry, and concavity profiles, allowing every SM-10RS to be optimized for 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, minimizing weight while preserving strength in critical load-bearing areas. The result is improved responsiveness and reduced rotational mass without compromising durability.
A Stronger Lightweight Wheel
Many lightweight wheels sacrifice strength to achieve lower weight figures. Apex took the opposite approach, strategically reinforcing critical stress areas after removing unnecessary material. This process creates a stronger inner lip and increased load capacity while maintaining exceptional weight savings.
Advanced FEA Optimization
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was used throughout development to identify high-stress regions and optimize material placement. Areas requiring additional strength were reinforced while material was removed where it did not contribute to performance, creating an impressive strength-to-weight ratio.
Greater Stiffness
Through optimized spoke geometry and advanced bending-load analysis, the SM-10RS achieves nearly 10 percent greater stiffness than the VS-5RS while maintaining nearly identical weight. Compared to Apex's first-generation forged wheels, stiffness improvements approach 25 percent.
Independent Third-Party Testing
The SM-10RS undergoes independent testing by STL in Ohio. Testing exceeds standard JWL requirements through increased impact heights, longer testing durations, and elevated load capacities to ensure confidence under demanding driving conditions.
Sprint Spec Reinforced Inner Lip
Apex's unique Sprint spec inner lip utilizes a reinforced channel profile engineered to improve impact resistance. Even though the wheel is lighter than many comparable designs, it provides 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 laser scans allows the SM-10RS to accommodate many factory and aftermarket brake packages.
Deep Concavity
Redesigned forging architecture enables aggressive concave profiles while maintaining brake clearance and structural integrity. Every profile is optimized to balance aesthetics and performance.
Paintless Knurled Bead Seats
Paintless knurled bead seats help maximize tire retention under hard acceleration and braking, reducing the likelihood of tire slippage and helping maintain balance.
Track-Ready Details
The SM-10RS accommodates oversized race lugs and impact sockets for fast wheel changes. 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 TPMS sensors along with standard valve stems.
