Every aspect of the wheel was engineered with real-world motorsport use in mind, making the ML-7RT an excellent choice for Porsche enthusiasts pushing their cars on both the street and track.
The aggressively side-milled spokes are CNC machined to remove unnecessary material that does not contribute to strength, helping reduce rotational weight while maintaining rigidity and durability. Combined with the reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip and advanced forging process, the ML-7RT provides the confidence needed to handle aggressive driving conditions and rough pavement alike.
