The signature side-milled spokes are aggressively CNC machined to remove excess material that does not contribute to strength, reducing weight while maintaining rigidity and durability. Combined with the reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip and advanced forging process, the ML-7RT delivers the confidence needed for demanding street driving, track use, and harsh road conditions alike.
