Apex SM-8RS 17x10 Forged Wheel - 4x100 BP / ET43 / 54.1mm CB - Satin Bronze (SM8RS1710ET43-4100-541-NSBZ)
The Apex SM-8RS was engineered specifically for the Mazda ND MX-5 Miata and delivers serious track capability without sacrificing durability. As part of Apex's Sprint Line, this forged 8-spoke design takes inspiration from the popular SM-10RS while bringing a unique look and exceptional performance to one of the most popular sports car platforms ever built. Finished in Satin Bronze, the SM-8RS combines lightweight construction, race-proven stiffness, and impressive strength for both aggressive street driving and dedicated track use.
Built from forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton forging process, the SM-8RS boasts a remarkable 1,400-pound load rating. That's more than 230 pounds above JWL requirements and approximately 185 pounds stronger than many aftermarket ND Miata wheels. Proprietary motorsport blanks, extensive Finite Element Analysis, and the strengthened Sprint spec inner lip all work together to create a wheel that excels under demanding conditions while maintaining minimal weight.
