Forged Strength with Heritage Styling
The ML-10RT delivers the nostalgic look of classic racing wheels while incorporating the latest forging technology. Apex engineers created a wheel that is lighter, stronger, and stiffer than traditional multi-piece alternatives, giving enthusiasts the best of both worlds without sacrificing performance.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Reinforcement
Borrowing technology from Apex's Sprint Line wheels, the ML-10RT utilizes a reinforced inner lip that strengthens one of the wheel's most vulnerable areas. This added reinforcement improves durability against potholes, curbing, and demanding road conditions while maintaining low overall weight.
Vehicle-Specific Brake Clearance Engineering
Apex leverages its extensive 3D vehicle scanning database to create fitment-specific spoke profiles optimized around OEM and popular aftermarket brake packages. This engineering approach maximizes both brake clearance and spoke concavity for an ideal balance of performance and appearance.
Gloss Motorsport Gold Machined Lip Finish
The Gloss Motorsport Gold finish delivers an unmistakable race-inspired appearance that stands out on any BMW build. Combined with the clear-coated machined lip, this finish captures the essence of classic motorsport while providing modern durability and low-maintenance ownership.
