Forged Strength with Vintage Motorsport Style
The ML-10RT was created to honor the iconic wheel designs that shaped motorsport history while delivering the performance benefits of modern forging technology. Apex engineers utilized proprietary forged blanks and advanced manufacturing techniques to create a wheel that provides exceptional strength, stiffness, and durability while maintaining a lightweight design and aggressive deep-lip appearance.
Advanced Side-Milled Spoke Technology
Each ML-10RT incorporates Apex's aggressive side-milling process, which removes excess 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 aesthetics 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 improves resistance to potholes, curbing, and harsh driving conditions while maintaining lightweight performance characteristics.
Vehicle-Specific Engineering
The deep-lip design of the ML-10RT requires precise 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 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
