Introducing the ML-10RT, a forged wheel that first emerged as an engineering passion project and was brought to life by the enthusiast community.

The ML-10RT joined the Touring Line in late 2024. It was originally designed by one of our Senior Engineers exclusively for his widebody E46 M3 race car, but once the community laid eyes on the early prototypes in a social post, the demand was overwhelming. The ML-10RT embodies the styling of early touring cars that many enthusiasts still celebrate today, while ditching the 40 year old technology. Thanks to our state of the art forging capabilities, these monoblock wheels are lighter, stronger and stiffer than the classic designs it honors.

Features
An Evolution of Performance
- The ML-10RT honors the motorsport designs so many of us fell in love with during the golden era of Touring Car and Sports Car racing. However, its ancestry ends there. Our in-house engineering team pulled out all the stops to create a monoblock forged wheel that's lighter, stronger and stiffer than multi-piece wheels of the past. Utilizing the latest forging technology to offer an impeccable design, backed by Real Performance, at an obtainable price point.
Side-Milled Spokes
- The ML-10RT incorporates Apex's extra-deep, side-milled spokes. Any excess material that doesn't add strength is machined out using a precision CNC ball cutter. Often deemed cost-prohibitive by others, this aggressive side-milling shaves critical weight, and adds a sharp contrast in the design of the center spoke area.
Sprint Inner Lip
- The ML-10RT borrows the race-proven Sprint Spec inner lip from our Sprint Line wheels, providing critical strength to the unsupported inner lip of the wheel. Adding 32% more material where it matters most. Don't settle for under-engineered wheels, attack both the track and your cities potholes with confidence. 50% More reinforcement than a standard inner lip.
10k Tons of Pressure
- To make our forged wheels the strongest we can, we applied as much pressure as possible using a 10,000 ton forge. This extreme pressure increases the strength of the aluminum by eliminating porosity and improving the grain structure.
True Motorsport Blanks
- Many companies use 3rd-party blanks intended for non-motorsport wheels which can severely limit sizes, concavity, spoke design, and critical brake clearance. We designed our very own blank profiles from scratch to give us total control over the final product.
Independently Tested
- We don't rely solely on computer simulations or unverifiable in-house testing. We believe independent testing is critical to protect consumers in this unregulated industry. Our Touring Line wheels are independently tested by ITS at their Michigan facility following JWL standards but pushed to much higher loads and much longer durations.
Machined Lip
- The ML-10RT is our first forged wheel to feature a machined lip, which really makes it a standout design within the Apex catalog. The lip in combination with the mesh center pays homage to the glory days of motorsport, and is sure to dramatically transform the look of any car. The best part - the machined lip has a gloss clear coat and doesn't require polishing. The ML-10RT features a consistent 1.5" outer lip across every wheel size, giving even our most conservative fitments the bold, deep-lip look enthusiasts love. Our more aggressive fitments then utilize the same 1.5" outer lip, and maximize spoke concavity for an ultra aggressive design profile while maintaining an aesthetic harmony with the thinner fitments often found on staggered applications.
Vehicle Specific Spoke Profiles
- The lipped design of the ML-10RT inherently limits brake clearance. Rather than making every fitment as conservative as possible, we utilized our extensive 3D vehicle scanning library to shrink wrap each fitment's spoke design around respective OEM and popular aftermarket brake kits. Leveraging our vehicle research and engineering team, we find a perfect balance of concavity and brake clearance.
Built for Impact Sockets
- Don't settle for wheels that require undersized tuner lugs or thin walled sockets. All Apex wheels accommodate over-sized race lugs and impact sockets to make swapping wheels lightning fast.
OEM Center Cap Compatibility
- Love that OEM+ look? Us too. Our engineers went the extra mile and incorporated a flush mounted OEM center cap support into the ML-10RT. Whether you want to show off your included Apex center caps or stick with your OEM caps, the ML-10RT will seamlessly accept both.
Laser-Engraved Specs
- As car enthusiasts ourselves, we know how frustrating it is to locate and decipher wheel specs that have been hastily marked on a wheel or become unreadable over time. Our Touring Line wheels have laser-engraved specs on the barrel, in plain sight, making them easy to find and read.
TPMS
- All Apex wheels accept OEM and aftermarket Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors and standard fit valve stems. If you don't have sensors, then select from our metal stems available in multiple finishes.
