Forged Engineering Inspired by Motorsport Heritage
The ML-10RT pays tribute to some of the most recognizable wheel designs in motorsport history while incorporating the latest forging technology available today. Apex engineers focused on reducing weight, increasing stiffness, improving durability, and maximizing brake clearance without compromising the wheel's iconic deep-lip appearance.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Reinforcement
Borrowed directly from Apex's race-developed Sprint Line wheels, the reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip adds critical material where impact loads are highest. This additional reinforcement improves resistance to potholes, curbing, and harsh driving conditions while maintaining a lightweight forged structure.
Vehicle-Specific BMW Development
Using Apex's extensive 3D scanning library, each ML-10RT application receives a dedicated spoke profile optimized for brake clearance, fitment, and concavity. This allows Apex engineers to achieve an ideal balance between aesthetics, performance, and functionality for BMW enthusiasts.
