For those looking to shed as much weight as possible to improve lap times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e10K Tons of Pressure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur new forgings weigh as much as 120 pounds before machining. To form such a thick blank we require special equipment capable of 10,000 metric tons of pressure. This extreme pressure increases the strength of the aluminium by eliminating porosity and improving the grain structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTrue Motorsport Blanks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany companies use 3rd-party blanks intended for non-motorsport wheels which can severely limit sizes, concavity, spoke design, and critical brake clearance. We designed our very own blank profiles from scratch to give us total control over the final product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eI-Beam Spokes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most noticeable features of the SM-10RS is its use of side-milling on both sides of each spoke, creating an I-beam effect. Any excess material that doesn't add strength is carved out using a precision CNC ball cutter. Side-milling is often deemed cost-prohibitive by others, but for true performance without compromise we believe it's essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Stronger Lightweight Wheel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur forged Sprint wheels are lightweight without the strength compromises found on typical lightweight wheels. First, we carved out as much material as possible, then we purposefully added one pound back to reinforce critical areas, creating a stronger inner lip and a higher load rating. What's the point of a lightweight wheel if it's fragile?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLoad Ratings (lbs)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eJWL Load Standard - 1521\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTypical Forged Wheels - 1521\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAPEX Flow Formed - 1550\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAPEX Forged Sprint Line - 1600\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWeight Optimised\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe conducted extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reinforce high-stress areas and to remove material where it didn't improve strength. The result is a wheel that is exceptionally light without the strength compromises found on typical lightweight wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGreater Stiffness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SM-10RS is not just another style to choose from. We used Finite Element Analysis of bending loads to optimise spoke geometry for greater stiffness without increasing weight. In fact, the SM-10RS is nearly identical in weight to our popular VS-5RS yet almost 10% stiffer, and 25% stiffer than our first generation of forged wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIndependently Tested\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe don't rely solely on computer simulations or unverifiable in-house testing. We believe independent testing is critical to protect consumers in this unregulated industry. We chose STL, an independent lab in Ohio, to test our Sprint wheels far above JWL standards, including increases in testing duration, impact drop height, and total load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTougher Inner Lip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroducing the Sprint spec inner lip, with a unique channel profile that makes it even stronger than our previous designs. So even though our Sprint wheels are pounds lighter than comparable flow formed wheels, the inner lip is stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e32% more reinforcement than our flow formed wheels!\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBig Brake Clearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom day one, APEX has been on a mission to build wheels that clear big brakes. Our new forged wheels are the product of everything we've developed over the past 10+ years, including an innovative high-clearance barrel design and vehicle-specific spoke profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDeeper Concavity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur new forgings were redesigned to create extra deep, concave spoke profiles. Their new shape allows us to make any profile, from flat to deep and everything in between. Each one is optimised for a specific application using 3D laser scans of factory and aftermarket brake kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePaintless Knurled Bead\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether it's a day at the track or months of street driving, repeated hard braking and acceleration can make a tire slip along the bead seat and go out of balance, causing vibration. Knurled beads help, but are less effective when painted over. Our forged line features unpainted knurled beads that stay sharp and maximise grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for Impact Sockets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrack wheels need track tools. Don't settle for wheels that require undersized tuner lugs or thin walled sockets. All APEX wheels accommodate over-sized race lugs and impact sockets to make swapping wheels lightning fast. 32mm Socket diameter clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apex Wheels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43093392425118,"sku":"SM10RS1995ET28-5120-7256-BC","price":1157.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/0549\/3662\/products\/SM-10RS-BrushedClear_40230f09-06b8-4cb9-a33e-d7bfe820cc5a.jpg?v=1705571633","url":"https:\/\/id-workz.co.uk\/products\/apex-sm-10rs-alloy-wheel-19x9-5-et28-5x120-brushed-clear-72-56mm-cb","provider":"ID-Workz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
