This 18x12 ET41 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 23.5 lbs in the 18x12 configuration, providing unsprung weight reduction compared to traditional cast wheels despite the aggressive 12-inch width. This weight control becomes critical at larger widths, where conventional 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 12-inch width. The 67.1mm center bore specification delivers precise hub-centric mounting for Chevrolet applications. The ET41 offset positions the wheel mounting surface to optimize suspension geometry while accommodating the aggressive 12-inch width within the wheel well. The 60-degree conical hardware seat ensures proper lug nut engagement for secure mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: 5x120 bolt pattern applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Flow formed aluminum construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: Profile 3 face design, 60-degree conical hardware seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: SM101812ET41-5120-671-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;\"\u003e12.0\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eET41\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;\"\u003e23.5 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"APEX Wheels","offers":[{"title":"Anthracite","offer_id":47665387667607,"sku":"SM101812ET41-5120-671-AN","price":504.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":47665387700375,"sku":"SM101812ET41-5120-671-SMBK","price":504.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2641\/0682\/files\/c9080ecb8a3ea58858cb8528aed6a758326fb629-2000x2000.png?v=1776198551","url":"https:\/\/autotalent.com\/products\/apex-wheels-sm-10-flow-formed-wheel-18x12-et41-5x120","provider":"AutoTalent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
