Modern Forged Performance
The ML-10RT was developed to capture the iconic appearance of vintage motorsport wheels while delivering the performance benefits of modern forging technology. Apex engineers designed proprietary forged blanks specifically for motorsport applications, giving them complete control over wheel strength, concavity, brake clearance, and overall performance characteristics.
Advanced Side-Milled Spoke Technology
Each ML-10RT features Apex's aggressive side-milling process, which removes material that does not contribute to structural strength. This precision machining reduces rotational mass while creating a deeper and more dramatic spoke profile that enhances both appearance and performance.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Reinforcement
Borrowed directly from Apex Sprint Line wheel development, the reinforced inner lip strengthens one of the wheel's most vulnerable impact zones. This additional reinforcement improves resistance to potholes, curbing, and harsh road conditions while maintaining lightweight performance characteristics.
Vehicle-Specific Engineering
The deep-lip design of the ML-10RT requires careful brake clearance engineering. Apex utilizes extensive 3D vehicle scanning and engineering analysis to optimize spoke geometry around OEM and popular aftermarket brake systems, maximizing brake clearance while preserving the aggressive 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
