This 18x9.5 ET41 wheel addresses the performance demands of German car enthusiasts who require both strength and reduced unsprung weight for improved handling dynamics. The forged construction approach delivers superior material density and structural integrity compared to cast alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SM-10RS achieves a weight of 18.9 lbs in the 18x9.5 configuration, representing a significant reduction in rotational mass that directly impacts acceleration, braking performance, and suspension response. This weight optimization is accomplished through the forged manufacturing process, which allows for precise material placement and thinner spoke sections without compromising structural strength required for high-performance VW\/Audi applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForged construction utilizes a single piece of aluminum that is heated and formed under extreme pressure, creating a wheel with enhanced grain structure and material properties. This manufacturing method produces wheels that are both lighter and stronger than cast equivalents, making them suitable for high-performance driving applications where wheel failure is not acceptable. The forged process eliminates the porosity and inconsistencies found in cast wheels, resulting in a denser, more reliable structure capable of withstanding the demands of track use and spirited driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SM-10RS features Profile 1 face design and incorporates R13 Ball Seat hardware configuration for proper lug nut engagement. Multiple finish options are available including Anthracite, Motorsport Gold, Satin Black, and Satin Bronze to complement various vehicle aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: VW\/Audi (Small Bore) applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Forged aluminum construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 18.9 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Seat: R13 Ball Seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace Profile: Profile 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable Finishes: Anthracite, Motorsport Gold, Satin Black, Satin Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: SM10RS1895ET41-5112-571-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;\"\u003e9.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eET41\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e5x112mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e57.1mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eForged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eProfile 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eR13 Ball Seat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e18.9 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"APEX Wheels","offers":[{"title":"Anthracite","offer_id":47665421418647,"sku":"SM10RS1895ET41-5112-571-AN","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Motorsport Gold","offer_id":47665421451415,"sku":"SM10RS1895ET41-5112-571-MGD","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":47665421484183,"sku":"SM10RS1895ET41-5112-571-NSBK","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin Bronze","offer_id":47665421516951,"sku":"SM10RS1895ET41-5112-571-NSBZ","price":719.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2641\/0682\/files\/a1c48d11f95e2c43fafea3d69d94037755dca2a1-2000x2000_9ca1762b-0b4c-4de9-9671-14c15ead7ca0.png?v=1776199736","url":"https:\/\/autotalent.com\/products\/apex-wheels-sm-10rs-forged-wheel-18x9-5-et41-5x112","provider":"AutoTalent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
