Overview
997 GT3 Wheel Performance
Porsche finally got the rear specs of the 997 GT3 wheel setup dialed in but left front width and a chunk of weight on the table. If you are looking to maximize the performance of your GT3, a lightweight chassis specific set of wheels will make a world of difference. We have options from our Forged EC-7RS and VS-5RS as well as some Flow formed SM-10 wheels depending on use case and budget. Find your perfect fitment on the Porsche 911 997 GT3 Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide.
A Brief History of the 997 GT3
What can be said about what is arguably one of the best cars to ever come from Porsche. While a set of our 997 911 GT3 wheels will improve the car by shedding ~29 lbs of rotational weight off the car, let's get into what makes this GT3 so special first. The 997 GT3 holds a special place as being the last manual transmission only GT3’s. While still being the more hardcore option for those looking to go to the track, the 997 had a few comforts built in like the standard sport seat and PCM. Power and Torque are up compared to the previous GT3, now at 409hp and 299 lb-ft and a redline of 8,400rpm. The GT3 continues to come with revised bodywork and a fixed rear wing to not only aid downforce but also improve cooling. The 997.2 GT3 was shown for the first time in 2009 at the Geneva Motor Show featuring further revised aero and an increase in displacement. Now with 3.8L to work with the car now put out 429 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. The new bodywork doubled downforce numbers from the 997.1 and included more vents to aid cooling. This was the first time stability control came on a GT3 to assist drivers new to the rear engined platform. 997.2 was the beginning of the new norm for GT3’s where they all started coming equipped with centerlock wheels.
What makes it so good on track
Short answer, everything. The 997 GT3 is designed for the track with factory coilover suspension, larger oil coolers, transmission cooler, shorter gear ratios, lighter weight and one of the best engines to ever be fitted in a Porsche. Our 997 911 GT3 wheels are a great way to improve the performance by pulling a substantial amount of rotational mass out of the car. Depending on if you have a 5-lug 997.1 or a centerlock 997.2 we have numerous options on our Porsche 911 997 GT3 Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide.
ML-10RT Specifications

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.
