Classic Style, Modern Forged Strength
The ML-10RT was created to capture the unmistakable look of legendary motorsport wheels while delivering the performance benefits of modern forging technology. Apex engineers developed proprietary forged blanks and advanced manufacturing processes to create a wheel that offers superior strength, stiffness, and durability without sacrificing weight or aesthetics.
Advanced Side-Milled Spoke Technology
Each ML-10RT incorporates Apex's aggressive side-milling process, removing material that does not contribute to structural strength. This precision machining technique reduces rotational mass while creating a deeper, more aggressive spoke profile that enhances both appearance and performance.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Reinforcement
Derived from Apex Sprint Line wheel development, the reinforced inner lip strengthens one of the wheel's most vulnerable impact areas. This added reinforcement helps improve resistance to potholes, curbing, and harsh road conditions while maintaining lightweight performance characteristics.
Vehicle-Specific Engineering
Rather than relying on a universal spoke design, Apex utilizes extensive 3D vehicle scanning and engineering data to optimize each ML-10RT application. This approach maximizes brake clearance while preserving the aggressive spoke concavity enthusiasts demand.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x112 Bolt Pattern and 66.6mm Center Bore
- Verify Brake Clearance, Suspension Clearance, and Tire Fitment Prior to Installation
