Motorsport Heritage Meets Modern Engineering
Inspired by the legendary mesh wheels used throughout touring car and sports car racing history, the ML-10RT delivers classic styling without sacrificing modern performance. Apex engineers utilized advanced forging technology to create a monoblock wheel that is lighter, stronger, and stiffer than traditional multi-piece alternatives.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
Borrowed from Apex's race-focused Sprint wheel lineup, the reinforced inner lip design strengthens one of the most vulnerable areas of the wheel. The result is improved impact resistance and long-term durability without unnecessary weight gain.
Side-Milled Forged Construction
Aggressive side milling removes excess material that does not contribute to strength, reducing rotational mass while enhancing the wheel's visual depth. This precision-machined design contributes to improved performance and a premium forged appearance.
Gloss Motorsport Gold Machined Lip Finish
The Gloss Motorsport Gold center paired with a machined outer lip creates an unmistakable motorsport aesthetic. The machined lip is protected by a durable gloss clear coat, providing the appearance of a polished lip without the maintenance requirements.
Fitment
