Modern Engineering Meets Motorsport Heritage
The ML-10RT captures the spirit of classic touring car racing while utilizing the latest advances in wheel manufacturing. Apex engineers leveraged monoblock forged construction and proprietary motorsport blanks to create a wheel that delivers outstanding performance, durability, and weight savings without sacrificing the timeless styling enthusiasts appreciate.
Reinforced Sprint Spec Inner Lip
Borrowed directly from Apex's race-proven Sprint Line wheels, the reinforced inner lip adds substantial strength to one of the wheel's most vulnerable areas. Strategic reinforcement helps the ML-10RT better withstand potholes, curbing, and the repeated stresses associated with aggressive driving and track use.
Advanced Side-Milled Spoke Technology
The ML-10RT features aggressive side-milling that removes unnecessary material while maintaining structural integrity. This precision CNC machining process helps reduce wheel weight while creating the distinctive visual depth and contrast that makes the ML-10RT stand out.
Signature Machined Lip Styling
As Apex's first forged wheel featuring a machined outer lip, the ML-10RT delivers a distinctive appearance that pays tribute to iconic motorsport wheels. The gloss clear-coated machined lip provides a premium finish that does not require regular polishing, allowing enthusiasts to enjoy the classic deep-lip look with modern convenience.
