Apex SM-10RS 19x9.5 Forged Wheel - Anthracite (SM10RS1995ET50-CL-PS-AN)
The Apex SM-10RS represents the pinnacle of lightweight forged wheel engineering. Designed as part of Apex's Sprint Line, this 19x9.5 wheel combines race-proven durability with exceptional stiffness and reduced rotational mass. Finished in Anthracite, the SM-10RS delivers a clean motorsport-inspired appearance backed by advanced engineering that is equally at home on the street or attacking apexes on track.
Built from proprietary 10K-ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum blanks, the SM-10RS was engineered to maximize brake clearance, steering precision, and overall strength. Through extensive Finite Element Analysis and independent third-party testing, Apex optimized every aspect of the wheel to deliver uncompromising performance and durability without unnecessary weight.
10K Ton Forged Construction
Each SM-10RS starts life as a forged aluminum blank weighing up to 120 pounds before machining. Specialized forging presses applying 10,000 metric tons of pressure refine the aluminum grain structure and eliminate porosity, producing a stronger foundation that allows engineers to optimize weight while maintaining outstanding durability.
True Motorsport Blanks
Rather than relying on generic third-party forgings, Apex developed proprietary motorsport-specific blanks to allow complete control over wheel dimensions, brake clearance, spoke geometry, and concavity profiles.
I-Beam Spoke Technology
Precision side-milling removes unnecessary material from both sides of every spoke, creating an I-beam profile that reduces weight while maintaining exceptional rigidity and strength.
A Stronger Lightweight Wheel
Apex strategically reinforced critical stress areas after removing excess material, creating a stronger inner lip and higher load capacity without sacrificing lightweight performance.
Weight Optimized Through FEA
Advanced Finite Element Analysis allowed engineers to optimize material placement, reinforcing high-load areas while removing weight where it provided no structural benefit.
Greater Stiffness
Through extensive bending-load analysis, the SM-10RS achieves nearly 10 percent greater stiffness than the VS-5RS while maintaining similar weight and approximately 25 percent greater stiffness than Apex's first-generation forged wheels.
Independent Third-Party Testing
Testing by STL in Ohio exceeds traditional JWL standards with increased impact heights, extended testing durations, and greater load capacities to ensure long-term durability.
Sprint Spec Reinforced Inner Lip
Apex's unique Sprint spec inner lip utilizes a reinforced channel profile engineered for superior impact resistance. Despite being significantly lighter than many comparable wheels, the SM-10RS maintains impressive durability.
Massive Brake Clearance
A high-clearance barrel profile and application-specific spoke geometry developed through advanced laser scanning allow compatibility with large factory and aftermarket brake systems.
Deep Concavity
Redesigned forging architecture enables aggressive concave profiles while maintaining brake clearance and structural integrity.
Paintless Knurled Bead Seats
Paintless knurled bead seats help maximize tire retention during hard acceleration and braking while reducing the potential for tire slippage.
Track-Ready Details
The SM-10RS accommodates oversized race lugs and impact sockets for fast 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 fully compatible with OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors along with standard valve stems.
