Forged Performance Inspired by Motorsport
The ML-10RT honors the wheels that defined an era of touring car competition while utilizing the latest advances in forged wheel manufacturing. Apex engineers leveraged proprietary motorsport blanks and monoblock forged construction to create a wheel that delivers exceptional performance, reduced weight, and increased rigidity while preserving the classic styling enthusiasts love.
Reinforced Sprint Spec Inner Lip
Derived from Apex's race-proven Sprint Line wheels, the reinforced inner lip adds critical strength to one of the wheel's most vulnerable areas. Strategic reinforcement helps improve resistance to impacts from potholes, curbing, and aggressive track use while maintaining a lightweight overall design.
Advanced Side-Milled Spoke Technology
The ML-10RT utilizes aggressive side milling to remove excess material that does not contribute to strength. This precision CNC machining process helps reduce overall wheel weight while creating additional visual depth and contrast throughout the spoke design.
Machined Lip Styling with Modern Durability
As Apex's first forged wheel featuring a machined outer lip, the ML-10RT stands apart from conventional wheel designs. The gloss clear-coated machined lip delivers the classic deep-lip appearance enthusiasts appreciate while eliminating the need for routine polishing and maintenance.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x120 Bolt Pattern and 72.56mm Center Bore
- Verify Brake Clearance, Suspension Clearance, and Tire Fitment Prior to Installation
