This 18x8.5 ET50 wheel addresses the demands of 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 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 the 71.6mm center bore specification, providing precise hub-centric mounting for Porsche applications. The ET50 offset positions the wheel mounting surface to optimize suspension geometry and maintain proper brake clearance for the 5x130 bolt pattern platform. This offset configuration works specifically with the 8.5-inch width to deliver appropriate wheel placement within the wheel well while accommodating performance brake upgrades commonly found on Porsche platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SM-10 features Profile 1 face design, providing the geometry suited for the 8.5-inch width configuration. APEX offers the SM-10 with R14 Ball Seat hardware specifications for proper lug nut compatibility. The wheel is available in multiple finish options including Anthracite, Race Silver, and Satin Black to accommodate different aesthetic preferences while maintaining the same performance characteristics across all finish variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: Porsche (5x130 bolt pattern)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Flow Formed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace Profile: Profile 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Seat: R14 Ball Seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable Finishes: Anthracite, Race Silver, Satin Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: SM101885ET50-5130-716-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;\"\u003e8.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eET50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e5x130mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e71.6mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eFlow Formed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eProfile 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eR14 Ball Seat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"APEX Wheels","offers":[{"title":"Anthracite","offer_id":47665387110551,"sku":"SM101885ET50-5130-716-AN","price":444.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Race Silver","offer_id":47665387143319,"sku":"SM101885ET50-5130-716-RS","price":444.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":47665387176087,"sku":"SM101885ET50-5130-716-SMBK","price":444.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2641\/0682\/files\/f021482941fc27de1b3d2434329a0bed2ed41732-2000x2000_4ee1db68-8a66-4df2-bb46-eb5de469d396.png?v=1776198520","url":"https:\/\/autotalent.com\/products\/apex-wheels-sm-10-flow-formed-wheel-18x8-5-et50-5x130","provider":"AutoTalent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
