Overview
BMW E90 E92 E93 M3 Wheel Performance
The stock E9X M3 wheel size greatly limits the tire size you can run on the car. You can easily improve the performance of your M3 by getting a wider tire. We created E9X forged wheels such as the Apex VS-5RS, SM-10RS, EC-7RS and flow-formed wheels such as the ARC-8, EC-7, SM-10 and FL-5 to allow wider tires thus improving the mechanical grip. Luckily for owners looking to improve performance, the E9X is capable of swallowing up even more tire versus the outgoing E46. We’ve removed the guesswork of test fitting and assembled a detailed fitment guide that outlines the best E90 E92 E93 M3 wheels available.

About the E90 E92 E93 M3
Dubbed the E9X M3 by enthusiasts, this fourth generation is split into three unique body styles; the E90 M3 sedan, E92 M3 coupe, and the E93 M3 hardtop convertible. Well into the height of the horsepower wars brought on by the famed Mercedes E55 AMG, for the first and only time, the engineers in Bavaria shoe-horned a V8 engine into the 3 series platform. Named the S65, this glorious V8 was based on the F1 derived V10, powering the E60 M5 and E63 M6. With two cylinders removed, and an all aluminum block, the end result was an engine even lighter and more compact than the S54 inline six, powering the E46 generation.
Following the new M car design language, the E9X M3 received wide fender flares, more aggressive front and rear bumpers, quad exhaust tips, and fender vents to relieve pressure in the engine bay.
E90 E92 E93 M3 Performance on Track
The engine. The balance. The sound. Enough said, this car is just legendary. If you’re a devout BMW fan, you’ll already know why those in love with this generation of M3 are more than happy to put up with tight rod bearing clearances, a massive thirst for premium unleaded, and practically disposable throttle actuators. Address those few reliability issues and you’re left with a car capable of setting blistering lap times with more satisfaction than any (faster) V8 powered American muscle car can provide. For those obsessed solely with lap times, the optional 7 speed DCT transmission has proved reliable and offers lightning fast up shifts and perfectly rev-matched downshifts.
If you’re still not sold, don’t just take it from us. Hear what the editors at Road and Track magazine have to say, after their track test in the article The BMW E92 M3 sounds like Screaming Thunder.
Depending on the style of driving you’re looking for, the E9X M platform can rock a wide square fitment for the road course, or a staggered setup made for putting power down. Our wide selection of E9X M3 wheels provides you with the perfect specs needed for any build. Our e90 e92 e93 M3 wheels don’t just perform, they also look the part.

Which Wheels Should I Get?
Check out our Fitment Guides, the most in-depth, authoritative guides for wheel and tire fitments, tailored for your vehicle and how you drive it.
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.
