Built for Real Performance
The ML-7RT is more than just a cosmetic upgrade. Apex engineered this wheel with true motorsport function in mind. The aggressive side-milled spoke design removes excess material that does not contribute to strength, helping reduce rotational mass while maintaining exceptional rigidity and durability.
To further enhance performance, Apex incorporated its race-proven Sprint Spec inner lip technology, reinforcing one of the wheels most vulnerable areas with significantly more material where it matters most. Combined with proprietary forged blanks and extensive 3D vehicle scanning, the ML-7RT delivers exceptional brake clearance, structural integrity, and fitment precision for modern BMW performance applications.
