Modern Forged Construction
The ML-10RT pays tribute to the iconic wheels used throughout the golden era of touring car and sports car racing while benefiting from the latest advancements in forging technology. Apex's proprietary monoblock forged construction produces a wheel that is lighter, stronger, and stiffer than many traditional multi-piece designs, improving vehicle response and durability.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
Derived directly from Apex's race-proven Sprint Line wheels, the reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip strengthens the wheel's most vulnerable area. By strategically adding material where it matters most, Apex enhances impact resistance and long-term durability without compromising performance.
Side-Milled Spoke Engineering
Each ML-10RT wheel features aggressive side-milling performed through precision CNC machining. This process removes unnecessary material while maintaining structural integrity, reducing rotational mass and creating the distinctive sculpted spoke profile that defines the wheel's appearance.
Brushed Clear Machined Lip Finish
The Brushed Clear finish paired with the signature machined lip delivers a premium motorsport-inspired appearance that complements both modern and classic BMW builds. The machined lip receives a durable gloss clear coat, providing long-lasting protection while eliminating the maintenance associated with traditional polished finishes.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x120 Bolt Pattern and 72.56mm Center Bore
