Apex SM-10RS 19x9.5 Forged Wheel - Motorsport Gold (SM10RS1995ET50-CL-PS-MGD)
The Apex SM-10RS represents the next evolution in lightweight forged wheel engineering. As part of Apex's Sprint Line, the SM-10RS combines cutting-edge manufacturing processes with race-proven durability to deliver a wheel that is exceptionally light, incredibly strong, and engineered to withstand the demands of both spirited street driving and serious track use. Finished in Motorsport Gold, this 19x9.5 wheel delivers unmistakable style backed by uncompromising performance.
Manufactured from proprietary 10K-ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum blanks, the SM-10RS was designed to maximize stiffness, brake clearance, and impact resistance while minimizing rotational weight. Extensive Finite Element Analysis and independent third-party testing ensure this wheel performs at the highest levels without sacrificing long-term durability.
10K Ton Forged Construction
Every SM-10RS begins as a forged aluminum blank weighing up to 120 pounds before machining. Specialized equipment capable of applying 10,000 metric tons of pressure refines the aluminum grain structure and minimizes porosity, producing exceptional strength and durability.
True Motorsport Blanks
Unlike many manufacturers that rely on off-the-shelf forgings, Apex developed proprietary motorsport-specific blanks to provide complete control over wheel dimensions, brake clearance, spoke geometry, and concavity.
I-Beam Spoke Technology
Side milling on both sides of each spoke creates an I-beam profile that removes unnecessary material while maintaining rigidity where it matters most. This precision CNC machining process delivers reduced weight without compromising strength.
A Stronger Lightweight Wheel
Apex engineered the SM-10RS to be lightweight without the compromises commonly associated with ultra-light wheels. Material was strategically added back into critical areas to create a stronger inner lip and improved load capacity.
Advanced FEA Optimization
Extensive Finite Element Analysis allowed engineers to optimize material placement throughout the wheel. Reinforcement was added to high-stress areas while unnecessary mass was removed to maximize strength-to-weight ratios.
Greater Stiffness
The SM-10RS delivers nearly 10 percent greater stiffness than the VS-5RS while maintaining comparable weight, and approximately 25 percent more stiffness than Apex's first-generation forged wheels.
Independent Third-Party Testing
Testing conducted by STL in Ohio exceeds standard JWL requirements through higher impact heights, longer test durations, and greater load capacities, providing confidence under demanding conditions.
Sprint Spec Reinforced Inner Lip
Apex's reinforced Sprint spec inner lip utilizes a unique channel profile designed to improve impact resistance while maintaining lightweight characteristics.
Massive Brake Clearance
Advanced barrel design and application-specific spoke geometry developed using detailed laser scanning provide exceptional clearance for large factory and aftermarket brake systems.
Deep Concavity
Redesigned forging architecture allows aggressive concave profiles while maintaining structural integrity and brake clearance.
Paintless Knurled Bead Seats
Paintless knurled bead seats help maximize tire retention under hard acceleration and braking, reducing the possibility of tire slippage and vibration.
Track-Ready Features
The SM-10RS accommodates oversized race lugs and impact sockets for fast wheel changes. Laser-engraved specifications remain easy to locate and read 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 and standard valve stems.
