Modern Forged Engineering with Vintage Racing Inspiration
The ML-10RT honors the iconic wheel designs enthusiasts have admired for decades while delivering the benefits of modern forged construction. Apex engineers developed this wheel to be lighter, stronger, and stiffer than traditional multi-piece alternatives while preserving the deep-lip styling that made classic motorsport wheels legendary.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
Borrowed directly from Apex's race-proven Sprint Line wheels, the reinforced inner lip adds substantial material to one of the wheel's most vulnerable impact zones. This increased reinforcement helps improve durability when encountering potholes, curbing, and demanding driving conditions.
Vehicle-Specific Brake Clearance Design
Using an extensive library of 3D vehicle scans, Apex engineers optimize each ML-10RT fitment around OEM and popular aftermarket brake packages. This allows the wheel to maintain exceptional brake clearance while maximizing spoke concavity and preserving its aggressive motorsport stance.
Race Silver Machined Lip Finish
The Race Silver finish provides a clean, race-inspired appearance that complements virtually any BMW build. Combined with the gloss clear-coated machined lip, the wheel delivers a timeless motorsport aesthetic with modern durability and easy maintenance.
