Forged Performance with Classic Touring Car Style
The ML-10RT pays tribute to some of motorsport's most iconic wheel designs while incorporating the latest advancements in forged wheel engineering. Apex engineers focused on reducing weight, increasing stiffness, improving durability, and maximizing brake clearance without compromising the wheel's signature deep-lip appearance.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
Borrowed directly from Apex's race-developed Sprint Line wheels, the reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip adds material where impact forces are highest. This enhancement improves resistance to potholes, curbing, and harsh road conditions while maintaining a lightweight forged structure.
Vehicle-Specific BMW Engineering
Using Apex's extensive 3D vehicle scanning library, each ML-10RT application receives its own optimized spoke profile. This allows Apex to maximize brake clearance while maintaining aggressive concavity and ideal fitment for BMW performance applications.
Anthracite Machined Lip Finish
The Anthracite Machined Lip finish creates a striking contrast between the dark mesh center and bright machined outer lip. The combination delivers a premium motorsport appearance that highlights the wheel's intricate design details while complementing a wide range of BMW color combinations.
