As a company founded by and staffed by enthusiasts, Apex has always listened to the community. Feedback from enthusiasts is a big part of our design process and the success of our fully-forged ML-10RT is a perfect example of that. This motorsport-inspired wheel began its life as something of a skunkworks pet project that one of our senior engineers was working on for their personal widebody E46 M3 track car. However, it quickly took on a life of its own after we shared images of the prototype with the community. That wheel made a huge splash, and the demand and interest in the ML-10RT was impossible to ignore. We quickly made the call to make it a production wheel and it’s since become one of our most popular wheels – and for good reason. It delivers measurable Real Performance, but it’s also one of those rare wheels that happens to look great on every platform. Just check out the diversity of the ML-10RT’s on-car galleries.

Timeless style. Real Performance.
The ML-10RT is a wheel that strikes a rare balance that speaks to a lot of enthusiasts, which is a big part of why we manufacture it in an extremely wide range of fitments. This wheel reimagines the timeless motorsport-inspired, web-style wheel as a fully-forged, monoblock design. Most enthusiasts love the look of the 3-piece wheels that inspired the ML-10RT’s aesthetic, but 3-piece wheels can be really difficult to live with. They’re prone to leaking, can be expensive to repair or replace due to the way they’re manufactured, and ultimately, they’re not really built for the rigors of street driving or dual-purpose builds. These factors can really hamper the ownership experience of 3-piece wheels, and while they can be a great choice for dedicated track cars, we feel a forged one-piece design, but one engineered for the track, makes more sense for most drivers.
The ML-10RT is a strong, but lightweight monoblock twist on a classic aesthetic. Engineered to deliver Real Performance, the ML-10RT is more than just a good looking wheel. Features like our reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip and side-milled spokes make it track-ready, and our use of true motorsports blanks to manufacture the ML-10RT allow us to create fitments with vehicle-specific spoke profiles, maximum concavity, and the kind of big brake clearance that most purpose-built race cars demand.
