Forged Engineering Without Compromise
The ML-10RT was developed to combine classic motorsport styling with the benefits of modern forged wheel technology. Apex engineers designed proprietary forged blanks from the ground up, allowing complete control over wheel geometry, brake clearance, spoke design, and structural integrity. The result is a wheel that is lighter, stronger, and stiffer than traditional multi-piece alternatives.
Advanced Side-Milled Spoke Design
Each ML-10RT incorporates Apex's aggressive side-milling process to remove excess material that does not contribute to wheel strength. This precision CNC machining reduces rotational mass while creating a deeper, more dramatic spoke profile that enhances both performance and visual appeal.
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 helps improve durability against potholes, curbing, and demanding driving conditions while maintaining lightweight performance characteristics.
Vehicle-Specific Brake Clearance
The ML-10RT's deep-lip design presents unique brake clearance challenges. Apex utilizes extensive 3D vehicle scanning and engineering analysis to optimize spoke geometry around OEM and popular aftermarket brake systems, maximizing clearance while preserving aggressive concavity and aesthetics.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x130 Bolt Pattern and 71.6mm Center Bore
- Verify Brake Clearance, Suspension Clearance, and Tire Fitment Prior to Installation
FAQs
Can OEM Porsche center caps be used with this wheel?
Yes. The ML-10RT is engineered to accept compatible OEM Porsche center caps while also including Apex center caps.
Does the machined lip require regular polishing?
No. The machined lip is protected by a gloss clear coat, helping maintain its appearance without requiring routine polishing.
