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 carved 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.

Please make this! BRZ is crying for a dish/lip in 17x9 x 9.5 or 10

[TurboLag23]

These are absolutely gorgeous!!!

Given the spoke design and strength calcs/FEA you guys are presumably doing, would these be optimized for flow-formed, forged, or both? Given my use case and budget, I'm a prime target for a flow-formed offering.

[APEX Race Parts]

The ML-10 is expected to be a forged wheel.

However, we do have some new flow formed projects in the works as well so keep an eye out!

[kevaughan]

This is my favourite design (deep dish/lip and the mesh face)! I can't wait.

What are the projected sizes for this wheel?

When are the BRZ/FR-S wheels coming out? Any chance that there will be a 17" wheel?

Most fitments have an ETA of December for the first batch! More specific details on fitments are listed on our site.

The first 86/BRZ fitments will be 18x9" ET42 and 17x9" ET48!

[Breezio]

17x9 for BRZ/86 is great. Not so hot on the ET48 offset though. I expect that to rub bad on the inside front when paired with camber and good tires. Why did you go with that instead of ET35 or ET40?

We originally went with the higher offset to accommodate the Gen 2 cars, but we have since made some tweaks and will now be offering a 17x9" ET42 instead!
