Overview
991.1 Carrera S Wheel Performance
While it is an incredible sports car, the 991.1 Carrera S is held back by its factory wheel and tire setup. This is due to not completely utilizing the space under the fender. If you are looking to maximize the performance of your 991.1 Carrera, a set of our lightweight chassis specific wheels will make a world of difference. Head on over to our Porsche 911 991.1 Carrera & Carrera S Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide to find if the Flow Formed SM-10 or Forged VS-5RS and EC-7RS best fit your needs.
A Brief History of the 991.1 Carrera S
The 991.1 generation 911 Carrera S greatly benefits from a set of lightweight wheels. But what makes the 991.1 generation Carrera special to begin with? To start, these are the last naturally aspirated Carreras to be sold. The base Carrera came with the 3.4L flat six making 345 hp while the S model came with a 3.8L flat six making 395 hp. These are slightly revised versions of the 997.2 direct injected engines now making slightly more power than the previous generations. One of the biggest changes for the 991 was the all new interior. This was a completely new interior design which really brought the 911 into the modern era. The downside was the introduction of electric power steering or EPAS as it is commonly referred to. This had quite the negative effect on steering feel that the 911 had always been known for and was criticized by the press at the time. Despite growing in size in every dimension the new 991 is actually lighter than the outgoing 997. This is from the increased use of aluminum in the body structure compared to steel for the outgoing model.
Why We Think It's a Good Track Car
The 991 generation had much more stability than the outgoing model. Possibly due to the increased wheelbase and the engine being a bit further forward in the chassis than previous generations. This doesn’t mean that the 991 lost the charm of being a 911. You still have the rear engine tendencies and balance one is used to. The skills required to drive the car at its limit are still only learned when driving a rear engine vehicle. Those who commit to this chassis generally love the challenge and the playfulness near the limit. For those looking to improve performance either by putting additional rubber to the ground or reducing a significant amount of rotational mass, look no further than our 991.1 911 Carrera S Wheels. While we offer a number of fitments over on our Porsche 911 991.1 Carrera & Carrera S Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide. With the release of our 20” fitments, those have been very popular for the dual use case customer. This uses the factory Carrera 4S tire sizes but shaves a decent amount of weight from the car (exact weight savings depends on which wheel option your car is equipped with).

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.

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.
