Apex ML-10RT 20x9 Forged Touring Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET50 / 71.6mm CB - Anthracite Machined Lip (Porsche) ML10RT209ET50-5130-716-MLAN
The Apex ML-10RT brings iconic motorsport styling into the modern era with cutting-edge forged wheel technology. Inspired by the mesh wheels that dominated Touring Car and Sports Car racing, the ML-10RT combines timeless aesthetics with the strength, stiffness, and weight savings only a fully forged monoblock wheel can provide. Finished in Anthracite with a Machined Lip, this wheel delivers an aggressive yet refined appearance that perfectly complements high-performance Porsche applications.
Engineered as part of Apex's Forged Touring Line, the ML-10RT was developed from proprietary motorsport forging blanks designed entirely in-house. From its deep side-milled spokes and reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip to its vehicle-specific spoke profiles and extensive independent testing, every aspect of the ML-10RT was created to deliver real-world performance on both the street and track.

Modern Forged Engineering
While the ML-10RT takes visual inspiration from legendary racing wheels, its engineering is thoroughly modern. Apex developed proprietary forged blanks specifically for motorsport applications, allowing greater control over wheel strength, brake clearance, spoke geometry, and overall performance compared to generic forged blanks used elsewhere in the industry.
Deep Side-Milled Spokes
Using precision CNC machining, Apex removes excess material from the sides of each spoke without compromising strength. This advanced side-milling process reduces rotational weight while enhancing the wheel's distinctive appearance and performance capabilities.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
Borrowed directly from Apex's race-proven Sprint Line wheels, the reinforced inner lip adds substantial material to one of the wheel's most vulnerable impact zones. The result is improved resistance to potholes, curbing, and harsh road conditions without sacrificing weight savings.
Brake Clearance Without Compromise
The ML-10RT's deep-lip design presents unique engineering challenges. Apex utilizes extensive vehicle scanning and fitment analysis to maximize brake clearance while preserving the aggressive concavity and visual appeal enthusiasts expect from a modern performance wheel.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x130 Bolt Pattern and 71.6mm Center Bore
- Verify Brake Clearance, Suspension Clearance, and Tire Fitment Prior to Installation
FAQs
Can this wheel be used with OEM Porsche center caps?
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 maintenance?
No. The machined lip is protected by a durable gloss clear coat that helps maintain its appearance without the need for polishing.
