Motorsport Heritage Meets Modern Engineering
The ML-10RT pays tribute to the legendary mesh wheels that defined touring car and sports car racing while incorporating the latest advancements in monoblock forging technology. The result is a wheel that is lighter, stronger, and stiffer than traditional multi-piece designs while maintaining the classic aesthetic enthusiasts love.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Reinforcement
To improve impact resistance and long-term durability, the ML-10RT utilizes Apex's race-proven Sprint Spec inner lip design. This reinforced structure adds critical strength to the inner barrel, helping the wheel withstand harsh road conditions and demanding track environments.
Advanced Side-Milled Spoke Technology
Deep side milling removes excess material from each spoke while maintaining structural integrity. This advanced machining process reduces rotational mass, improves responsiveness, and creates the aggressive spoke profile that distinguishes the ML-10RT from conventional forged wheels.
Race Silver Finish with Machined Lip
The Race Silver finish paired with the signature machined lip creates a clean, motorsport-inspired appearance that complements both modern and classic BMW builds. The machined lip is protected by a durable gloss clear coat, eliminating the need for polishing while preserving its premium appearance.
