Modern Forged Engineering
While the ML-10RT pays tribute to iconic touring car racing wheels, its engineering is firmly rooted in modern motorsport technology. Apex's proprietary forged blanks and monoblock construction create a wheel that is lighter, stronger, and stiffer than many traditional multi-piece designs, improving steering response, durability, and overall driving confidence.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Strength
Adapted from Apex's race-proven Sprint Line wheels, the reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip adds substantial strength to the wheel's most vulnerable area. This enhancement improves impact resistance against potholes, curbing, and aggressive track use while maintaining an optimal strength-to-weight ratio.
Side-Milled Spoke Technology
Each ML-10RT utilizes deep side-milling performed by precision CNC machining to remove unnecessary material while preserving structural integrity. This process reduces rotational mass and creates the aggressive spoke profile that helps define the wheel's distinctive appearance.
Anthracite Machined Lip Finish
The Anthracite finish combined with the signature machined lip delivers a premium motorsport-inspired appearance. A durable gloss clear coat protects the machined surface, allowing enthusiasts to enjoy the look of a polished lip without requiring constant maintenance.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x120 Bolt Pattern and 72.56mm Center Bore
