Forged Touring Performance
Inspired by iconic motorsport wheel designs but engineered for modern performance, the ML-10RT utilizes advanced monoblock forging technology to achieve exceptional rigidity, reduced weight, and superior durability. The result is a wheel that looks vintage but performs at a level expected from today's most advanced forged designs.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Strength
Borrowing technology from Apex's Sprint Line, the ML-10RT features a reinforced inner lip that significantly improves durability in one of the wheel's most vulnerable areas. This additional reinforcement helps provide confidence whether you're attacking apexes at the track or navigating rough roads on the street.
Side-Milled Weight Reduction
Apex utilizes aggressive side-milling techniques to remove unnecessary material from the spokes without compromising structural integrity. This advanced machining process reduces rotational mass while creating the deep spoke profile that defines the ML-10RT's unique appearance.
Race Silver with Machined Lip Styling
The Race Silver finish paired with the signature machined lip delivers a timeless motorsport look that complements both classic and modern BMW builds. Protected by a durable gloss clear coat, the machined lip maintains its premium appearance without requiring the upkeep associated with traditional polished finishes.
Fitment
