Overview

993 Carrera Wheel Performance

The 993 Carrera and Carrera 4 wheels left a lot of performance to be desired. The factory 17’s left a lot of wheel and tire width on the table. While the OEM 18”s did a better job of this, we still lacked some front wheel width. If you want to open up some tire choices as well as increase performance, look no further than our lightweight chassis specific 993 wheels. For the 933 we have our Forged ML-10RT in fitments designed specifically for this chassis. To see the available configurations take a look at our Porsche 911 993 Carrera & Carrera 4 Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide.

A Brief History of the 993 Carrera

The last of the air cooled 911’s, the 993 will forever hold a special place in the hearts of Porsche enthusiasts. The 993 brought with it a number of updates over the 964, the biggest of which is the multi link rear suspension. This was a substantial performance improvement over the torsion bar and trailing arm setup of the 964 giving much better chassis dynamics like camber gain and toe curves. A mid cycle update came to the engine in the way of Variocam, this resulted in a sizeable power increase over the initial 3.6L found in early 993’s.

Fitment guides

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.

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.

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.

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.

A Wheel You Can Depend On

Accidental damage replacement

Curb rash or pothole damage on the street? Make an oopsie at the track? We’ve all been there. APEX is proud to offer 50% off replacement wheels, no matter the damage.

See terms and conditions.

Lifetime warranty

All APEX wheels come with a lifetime structural warranty against defects in workmanship and materials, plus a 1 year finish warranty. Exchanges are fast, easy, and hassle-free.
