Forged Performance Meets Heritage Styling
The ML-10RT draws inspiration from the legendary wheels that defined touring car and sports car racing, while leveraging modern forging technology to significantly improve strength, rigidity, and weight. The result is a wheel that delivers contemporary performance with unmistakable motorsport character.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
Borrowed from Apex's race-focused Sprint Line, the reinforced inner lip strengthens one of the wheel's most vulnerable areas. By strategically adding material where it matters most, Apex created a wheel that offers exceptional durability for both track use and harsh street conditions.
Advanced Side-Milled Construction
Deep side-milling removes unnecessary material without compromising structural integrity. This advanced machining process reduces rotational mass while creating the dramatic spoke profile that gives the ML-10RT its distinctive appearance.
Gloss Motorsport Gold with Machined Lip
The Gloss Motorsport Gold finish paired with the signature machined outer lip creates a striking motorsport-inspired appearance. Protected by a durable gloss clear coat, the machined lip maintains its premium look without requiring the maintenance associated with traditional polished lips.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x120 Bolt Pattern and 72.56mm Center Bore
