Forged for Real Performance
The ML-10RT may be inspired by classic racing wheels, but its engineering is thoroughly modern. Apex utilizes custom-designed forged blanks and advanced manufacturing processes to create a monoblock wheel that is lighter, stronger, and stiffer than traditional multi-piece designs. This translates into improved handling response, greater durability, and increased confidence during aggressive driving.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
Borrowing directly from Apex's race-proven Sprint Line wheels, the ML-10RT incorporates a reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip. By adding material to the most vulnerable section of the wheel barrel, Apex significantly improves impact resistance and long-term durability without adding unnecessary weight.
Advanced Side-Milled Spokes
Each spoke is extensively side-milled using precision CNC machining to remove excess material while maintaining structural integrity. This process reduces rotational mass and creates the deep sculpted spoke appearance that defines the ML-10RT's distinctive look.
Brushed Clear Machined Lip Finish
The Brushed Clear finish paired with the signature machined lip creates a premium motorsport aesthetic that stands out from conventional wheel finishes. A durable clear coat protects the brushed and machined surfaces, providing long-term appearance retention without the maintenance requirements associated with traditional polished wheels.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x114.3 Bolt Pattern and 70.5mm Center Bore
- Verify Brake Clearance, Suspension Clearance, and Tire Fitment Prior to Installation
