Modern Forged Performance with Classic Touring Style
The ML-10RT was developed to capture the visual appeal of iconic motorsport wheels while delivering the performance advantages demanded by today's enthusiasts. Apex engineers utilized advanced forging technology and extensive vehicle-specific development to create a wheel that is lighter, stronger, and stiffer than traditional multi-piece alternatives.
Advanced Forged Construction
Every ML-10RT begins with a specially designed motorsport forging subjected to immense pressure during the manufacturing process. This high-pressure forging technique improves aluminum density, enhances grain structure, and eliminates porosity to create a wheel capable of handling demanding driving environments.
Race-Proven Sprint Spec Inner Lip
Borrowed directly from Apex Sprint Line wheels, the reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip adds critical material where impact forces are highest. The result is significantly improved resistance to potholes, curbing, and track abuse while maintaining low overall wheel weight.
Machined Lip Styling Without the Maintenance
The Brushed Clear Machined Lip finish combines vintage motorsport aesthetics with modern durability. Unlike traditional polished lips that require frequent upkeep, the ML-10RT's machined lip is protected by a gloss clear coat that maintains its appearance without ongoing polishing.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x120.65 Bolt Pattern and 70.3mm Center Bore
- Verify Brake Clearance, Suspension Clearance, and Tire Fitment Prior to Installation
FAQs
Will this wheel work with factory TPMS sensors?
Yes. The ML-10RT is designed to accept both OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors along with standard valve stems.
Does the machined lip require regular polishing?
