The Apex SL-12RT delivers a bold new direction in forged wheel design for BMW enthusiasts who demand aggressive styling without sacrificing true motorsport engineering. Built using fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum and engineered specifically for performance-focused BMW applications, the SL-12RT combines deep lip styling, race-inspired strength, and modern lightweight construction into one unmistakable package. The 12 straight spoke layout creates a muscular, purposeful appearance that stands apart from traditional split-spoke designs while maintaining the functional performance Apex Touring Line wheels are known for.
Designed with both street and track driving in mind, the SL-12RT utilizes Apexs advanced side-milled spoke technology, reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip, and vehicle-specific spoke profiles to maximize brake clearance and structural rigidity. Unlike cosmetic-only designs, every contour and machining operation serves a functional purpose, reducing unnecessary mass while improving strength and responsiveness. Finished in Anthracite with a Machined Lip, this 19x11 wheel adds an aggressive OEM+ presence while supporting serious performance driving demands.

Engineered for Real Performance
The SL-12RT is not just another forged wheel designed for appearance alone. Apex engineered this wheel around real-world motorsport demands, using proprietary forged blanks and extensive 3D vehicle scanning technology to create application-specific spoke profiles with optimized concavity and brake clearance. The result is a wheel that performs as aggressively as it looks.
The reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip adds substantially more material in high-stress areas, helping the wheel better withstand pothole impacts, track abuse, and heavy braking loads. Combined with precision CNC-machined side milling, the SL-12RT balances low weight, high stiffness, and long-term durability for drivers who push their cars hard.
OEM+ Styling with Touring Line Aggression
The Anthracite Machined Lip finish gives the SL-12RT a refined yet aggressive appearance that perfectly complements modern BMW styling. Apex maintained a consistent outer lip profile across all Touring Line fitments to preserve the deep-lip visual enthusiasts want, while allowing wider and more aggressive setups to maximize spoke concavity for an unmistakable stance.
