Forged Strength Meets Vintage Motorsport Style
The ML-10RT captures the iconic appearance of classic touring car race wheels while delivering modern performance through advanced monoblock forging technology. The result is a wheel that offers improved strength, reduced weight, and increased stiffness compared to many traditional multi-piece wheel designs.
Reinforced Sprint Inner Lip
Borrowing technology from Apex's Sprint wheel program, the ML-10RT incorporates a reinforced inner lip that adds strength where impacts are most likely to occur. This advanced design increases durability without compromising performance or weight savings.
Side-Milled Spoke Engineering
Each spoke is aggressively side-milled using precision CNC machining to eliminate unnecessary material while maintaining structural integrity. This process reduces weight, improves responsiveness, and creates the deep visual profile that distinguishes the ML-10RT from conventional mesh wheels.
Brushed Clear Machined Lip Finish
The Brushed Clear center finish paired with the signature machined lip delivers a refined motorsport-inspired appearance. The machined lip is protected by a durable gloss clear coat that maintains its appearance without requiring ongoing polishing or maintenance.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x120 Bolt Pattern and 72.56mm Center Bore
