Forged Touring Line Engineering
The ML-10RT captures the visual character of legendary touring car wheels while utilizing modern engineering and manufacturing techniques. Apex's design team developed this wheel from the ground up to outperform traditional multi-piece designs by delivering greater strength, stiffness, and reduced weight in a fully forged monoblock package.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
Borrowing race-proven technology from Apex's Sprint wheel lineup, the ML-10RT features a reinforced inner lip that adds strength where wheels commonly experience the highest impacts. This design increases durability while maintaining the lightweight characteristics expected from a premium forged wheel.
Side-Milled Lightweight Construction
Aggressive side milling removes excess material from the spokes without compromising structural integrity. This precision CNC machining process reduces rotational mass while creating a distinctive appearance that showcases the advanced engineering behind the wheel.
Anthracite Machined Lip Finish
The Anthracite center paired with the signature machined lip creates a timeless motorsport aesthetic. The machined lip is protected by a durable gloss clear coat that preserves its appearance while eliminating the maintenance typically associated with traditional polished lips.
Fitment
