Classic Motorsport Design Meets Modern Forging
The ML-10RT captures the unmistakable look of legendary racing wheels while delivering the performance benefits of modern forged construction. Apex engineers developed the wheel to be lighter, stiffer, and stronger than traditional multi-piece alternatives while preserving the aggressive deep-lip styling enthusiasts demand.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Reinforcement
Borrowing technology from Apex's race-proven Sprint Line wheels, the ML-10RT features a reinforced inner lip that adds substantial strength where wheels experience the greatest impact loads. This added protection helps improve durability during aggressive driving and harsh road conditions.
Vehicle-Specific Engineering
Using Apex's extensive 3D scanning database, each ML-10RT fitment receives a dedicated spoke profile tailored around OEM and popular aftermarket brake packages. This allows Apex to optimize both brake clearance and spoke concavity without sacrificing strength or aesthetics.
Anthracite Machined Lip Finish
The Anthracite center finish provides a sophisticated motorsport-inspired appearance, while the gloss clear-coated machined lip adds contrast and depth. Together, they create a premium finish that complements both street and track-focused BMW builds.
