This 17x10 ET43 wheel addresses the performance demands of 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-8RS achieves a weight of 16.9 lbs in the 17x10 configuration, representing a 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 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-8RS incorporates a Profile 1 face design that positions the spokes and mounting surface for optimized brake clearance and visual depth. The 60-degree conical hardware seat ensures proper lug nut engagement and load distribution across the mounting surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: 4x100 bolt pattern applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Forged aluminum construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 16.9 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace Profile: Profile 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Seat: 60 Degree Conical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter Bore: 54.1mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary Application: Mazda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: SM8RS1710ET43-4100-541-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;\"\u003e17\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e10.0\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eET43\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e4x100mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e54.1mm\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;\"\u003e60 Degree Conical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e16.9 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"APEX Wheels","offers":[{"title":"Anthracite","offer_id":47672369021079,"sku":"SM8RS1710ET43-4100-541-AN","price":639.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brushed Clear","offer_id":47672369053847,"sku":"SM8RS1710ET43-4100-541-BC","price":679.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin Bronze","offer_id":47672369086615,"sku":"SM8RS1710ET43-4100-541-NSBZ","price":639.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/autotalent.com\/products\/apex-wheels-sm-8rs-forged-wheel-17x10-et43-4x100","provider":"AutoTalent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
