Apex 18" SM-10 Flow Formed 5x112mm Wheel (Satin Bronze) - VW/Audi (Small Bore)

As close as you can get to forged. Without paying the premium. The SM-10 is part of our Flow Formed Evolution line with features typically only found on higher-end forged wheels. For those who need a superior wheel but don’t have the budget for forged. The Flow Form Advantage Flow forming enables us to create high performance wheels without the price premium of forging. It improves the mechanical properties and grain structure of the barrel increasing its strength and stiffness which allows us to use less material and reduce weight. Thanks to our superior engineering our flow formed wheels have a higher load rating than some competitors' forged wheels. "I" Beam Spokes One of the most prominent features of the SM-10 is its advanced "I" beam spoke machining.
