Forged Touring Line Design
The ML-10RT pays tribute to the legendary mesh wheels found on classic touring and sports car race vehicles while utilizing modern monoblock forging technology. Apex engineers created a wheel that offers significantly improved strength, rigidity, and weight reduction compared to traditional multi-piece designs.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Reinforcement
Drawing inspiration from Apex's Sprint wheel lineup, the ML-10RT incorporates a reinforced inner lip design that adds substantial strength where wheels are most vulnerable to impacts. This technology helps improve durability on rough roads and race tracks alike without compromising overall weight.
Advanced Side-Milled Construction
The ML-10RT features aggressively side-milled spokes that remove excess material while maintaining structural integrity. This precision CNC machining process helps reduce rotational mass while highlighting the wheel's premium forged construction.
Anthracite Machined Lip Finish
The Anthracite center and machined lip combination creates a timeless motorsport-inspired appearance. The machined lip receives a durable gloss clear coat that protects the finish while eliminating the maintenance associated with traditional polished lips.
Fitment
