ML-10RT 17x9 ET42 5x100

The APEX ML-10RT is a forged wheel from APEX's Touring Line, engineered for 5x100 bolt pattern applications. This 17x9 ET42 wheel addresses the performance requirements of enthusiasts who demand both strength and weight optimization for enhanced handling characteristics. The forged construction approach delivers superior material density and structural integrity compared to cast alternatives. The ML-10RT achieves a weight of 19.1 lbs in the 17x9 configuration, representing a significant reduction in rotational mass that directly impacts acceleration, braking performance, and suspension response. This weight optimization is accomplished through the forged manufacturing process, which allows for precise material placement and thinner spoke sections without compromising the structural strength required for performance driving applications. Forged construction utilizes a single piece of aluminum that is heated and formed under extreme pressure, creating a wheel with enhanced grain structure and material properties. This manufacturing method produces wheels that are both lighter and stronger than cast equivalents, making them suitable for high-performance driving applications where wheel failure is not acceptable. The forged process eliminates the porosity and inconsistencies found in cast wheels, resulting in a denser, more reliable structure capable of withstanding the demands of spirited driving. The ML-10RT features a Profile 1 face design, providing specific offset and spoke geometry optimized for 5x100 bolt pattern applications. The wheel utilizes a 60-degree conical hardware seat for proper lug nut engagement and secure mounting. Primary fitment is for 86/BRZ platforms.
