This 18x11 ET7 wheel addresses the demands of wide performance applications through APEX's flow formed construction process, which combines casting efficiency with enhanced strength characteristics to deliver optimal performance for track and street use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SM-10 achieves a weight of 23.7 lbs in the 18x11 configuration, providing controlled unsprung weight despite the aggressive 11-inch width. This weight control becomes critical at larger widths, where traditional cast construction would result in significantly heavier wheels that compromise handling dynamics and acceleration response.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wheel utilizes flow formed construction, a manufacturing process that begins with a cast wheel blank before applying specialized forming techniques. During flow forming, the wheel barrel is spun at high speed while rollers apply controlled pressure, stretching and compressing the aluminum to create a denser grain structure. This process increases the material strength while reducing weight compared to traditional cast wheels, positioning flow formed construction between cast and forged methods in terms of both performance and cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SM-10 features Profile 3 face design, providing the deep concave geometry suited for wide applications like the 11-inch width. The 60-degree conical hardware seat accommodates standard lug nuts while ensuring proper wheel-to-hub contact. The 67.1mm center bore specification provides hub-centric mounting for compatible applications. The ET7 offset positions the wheel mounting surface to optimize suspension geometry while accommodating the aggressive 11-inch width configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wheel serves performance enthusiasts seeking the strength and weight advantages of flow formed construction in an 18-inch diameter platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: 5x120 bolt pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Flow Formed aluminum construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 23.7 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace Profile: Profile 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Seat: 60 Degree Conical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter Bore: 67.1mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: SM101811ET7-5120-671-AN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWheel Specifications:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable class=\"custable\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;font-size:90%;width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#03589c;height:21.875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:10%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIAMETER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:10%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWIDTH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:10%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOFFSET\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOLT PATTERN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCENTER BORE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:14%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONSTRUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFACE PROFILE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE SEAT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:8%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#e8f4f8;height:32px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e18\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e11.0\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eET7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e5x120mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e67.1mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eFlow Formed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eProfile 3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e60 Degree Conical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e23.7 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"APEX Wheels","offers":[{"title":"Anthracite","offer_id":47665387798679,"sku":"SM101811ET7-5120-671-AN","price":484.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":47665387831447,"sku":"SM101811ET7-5120-671-SMBK","price":484.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2641\/0682\/files\/c9080ecb8a3ea58858cb8528aed6a758326fb629-2000x2000_71180fa9-6c55-4cd6-bbb3-6129d6e83a90.png?v=1776198556","url":"https:\/\/autotalent.com\/products\/apex-wheels-sm-10-flow-formed-wheel-18x11-et7-5x120","provider":"AutoTalent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
