Forged Performance 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 while preserving the wheel's signature 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 material where impact loads are highest. This additional reinforcement helps improve resistance to potholes, track curbing, and harsh driving conditions while maintaining a lightweight forged construction.
Vehicle-Specific BMW Engineering
Using Apex's extensive 3D scanning library, each ML-10RT application receives an optimized spoke profile tailored to specific brake and suspension requirements. This engineering-first approach allows Apex to maximize brake clearance while maintaining aggressive concavity and ideal fitment.
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 highlights the wheel's intricate design while delivering a premium motorsport appearance that complements a wide range of BMW color combinations.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x120 Bolt Pattern and 72.56mm Center Bore
- Verify Brake Clearance, Suspension Clearance, and Tire Fitment Prior to Installation
FAQs
