Overview
BMW F87 M2 Wheel Performance
Despite sharing the same fitment as the F8X M3/4, F87 M2 wheel fitment differs significantly when compared to its larger counterparts. With less overall clearance for wider wheels and tires, especially up front, the F87 really benefits from a set of chassis-specific lightweight wheels because of its unique fitment. We created wheels like the Forged VS-5RS, EC-7s and SM-10RS alongside flow-formed ARC-8s, EC-7s, FL-5s, and SM-10s, specifically for the M2. With tricky brake options and a huge range of Apex fitments available, be sure you review our BMW F87 M2 Wheel and Tire Fitment Guide to find your next set of Apex wheels.
About the F87 M2
The F87 has been a favorite among enthusiasts since its initial launch back in 2016. As the M3 sedan and newly named M4 coupe continued growing with each passing generation, BMW listened to enthusiasts crying out for something a bit more compact. The answer came in the form of the first ever BMW M2. Thought of as an indirect successor to the much loved and limited production 1 series M coupe, the M2 was powered by a slightly modified N55 engine. Though some annoyingly complained it wasn’t a true M car with an engine borrowed from a lowly 3 series, the car featured all the right proportions. Widened fender flares, 380mm 4 piston brakes borrowed from the F8X, and a 6spd manual transmission with optional DCT made this a well rounded package in a compact form. Automotive journalists and enthusiasts alike, both fell in love with the playful chassis and many even hailed it as a modern E46 M3.
Midway through the F87’s life cycle, the M2 competition was introduced. The new model featured the same S55 engine from the F8X M3/M4. The M2 was finally a proper “M” car and had the power to prove it. Power was up by 40hp and 63 lb-ft of torque! Aside from a completely new engine, the F87 M2 Competition received a revised cooling system and for the U.S. market, a larger 400mm brake kit as standard, internally known as the 2NH. Be warned, 19” wheels or larger are required for cars equipped with that brake setup.
What Makes it a Good Track Car?
Both the standard F87 M2 and M2 competition make excellent cars for track duty. Throw on a set of wide F87 M2 wheels from Apex along with a set of track pads and you’ll be setting some shockingly quick lap times. These cars have proven themselves to be pretty stout, at least at stock power levels. The M2 Competition does suffer the same potential weak point at the crank hub, as it shares its engine with the F8X M3/M4. Luckily if you don’t plan on modding your M2 to oblivion, this shouldn’t stop you from enjoying some long days out on the track.
Like all modern M cars, the F87 M2 has got power in spades. Mix this with the lightest chassis out of the M car line up at the time of production, and you’ve got a sweet ultimate driving machine. Add in a widened set of F87 M2 wheels and this thing is unstoppable on track. The precise chassis tuning makes the M2 easy to handle at the limit. Even with all that power on tap, the Active M differential allows you to put power down with ease.
As you would expect from a modern BMW, the F87 can be a perfect one car solution. Checkout Car and Driver’s long term review to read more about our favorite of the modern BMW bunch: Car & Driver 40,000 Mile Review of the BMW F87 M2
ML-10RT Specifications
Reproductive Harm - www.p65warnings.ca.cov ML-10RT 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.
32mm
Socket Diameter Clearance
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.
Additional features
Hub Centric
All Forged Touring Line wheels are purpose built for select vehicle applications. Very few applications require centering rings.
Center Caps
All Apex Forged Touring Line wheels come with our gloss black cap included that is interchangeable with the OE cap. We also offer additional colors for select fitments.
Wheel Hardware
Wherever possible, Apex wheels are designed to be used with OEM mounting hardware as well as high-quality wheel spacers, stud conversion kits, wheel locks, and more. See our Accessories pages.
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.
