Apex SM-10RS Wheels

Overview:

The Apex SM-10RS is a ten-spoke forged wheel engineered for maximum stiffness and lightweight performance. Perfect for enthusiasts who demand exceptional rigidity for both street and track use, the SM-10RS delivers track-focused performance with reliable everyday durability.

Technical Highlights:

Material & Forging:

• 10K ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum for high yield strength and minimal porosity.
• Grain structure refinement during forging increases fatigue resistance under repeated stress cycles.
• Proprietary Motorsport blanks, enabling precise concavity, spoke shape, and brake clearance.

Spoke Design:

• Side-milled I-beam spokes reduce rotational inertia and maximize bending stiffness.
• Deep concavity optimized via 3D laser scans of factory and aftermarket brake kits.
• CNC ball-cut side milling removes non-critical material while retaining structural integrity.

Inner Lip & Barrel Engineering:

• Sprint™ spec inner lip adds reinforcement (~32% more than flow-formed equivalents) without excess weight.
• High-clearance barrel allows large brake calipers and improved airflow for cooling.
• Weight strategically added back after FEA analysis to strengthen critical areas.

Weight Optimization & Stiffness:

• Extensive Finite Element Analysis to optimize spoke geometry under bending and torsional loads.
• Nearly 10% stiffer than VS-5RS with identical weight, 25% stiffer than first-generation forged wheels.
• Weight: 18.6 lbs | Load rating: 1,600 lbs.

Brake Clearance & Fitment:

• Massive brake clearance combined with concave profile for aggressive fitments.

Track & Maintenance Ready:

• Built for oversized impact sockets (32mm clearance).
• Hub-centric design ensures accurate centering for high-speed stability.
• Compatible with OEM and aftermarket TPMS.
• Laser-engraved barrel specs for easy identification during high-speed track changes.

Aesthetic & Functional Features:

• Paintless knurled bead ensures tire grip under track conditions, resisting slip and runout.

Testing & Certification:

• Independently tested by STL labs far above JWL standards.
• Includes increased impact drop height, extended load duration, and torsional stress testing.
• Designed for track, street, and endurance performance conditions.

Warranty & Replacement:

• Lifetime structural warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
• 50% off replacement program for accidental damage, including curb rash or track mishaps.
