Forged Strength Meets Motorsport Heritage
The ML-10RT pays tribute to one of the most iconic wheel designs in motorsport history while delivering the advantages of modern forging technology. Apex engineers developed proprietary forged blanks to maximize strength, stiffness, brake clearance, and spoke geometry, resulting in a wheel that is lighter, stronger, and more durable than traditional multi-piece alternatives.
Advanced Side-Milled Spoke Technology
Each ML-10RT incorporates Apex's aggressive side-milling process, removing excess material that does not contribute to wheel strength. This precision CNC machining reduces rotational mass while creating a deeper and 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 added reinforcement improves resistance to potholes, curbing, and harsh driving conditions while maintaining lightweight performance characteristics.
Vehicle-Specific Brake Clearance Engineering
The ML-10RT's deep-lip design creates 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 styling.
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.
