will post on classifieds at the weekend
The question is what do you plan to get now that the GT3 is sold?

actually (and sadly) nothing Brandon - just too old and too lazy to go to the local tracks anymore ... the shame is that the GT3 never got to wear those gorgeous motorsport gold VS5-RS wheels I bought - they are all still in the boxes you shipped them in!

I still have my Spyder - which also has some VS5-RSes awaiting install too!

Sneak peek at some ML-10 finish prototypes. We started this batch before the survey was posted. More prototypes to come including sizes that are convex.

We’re going to have to make some tough choices because we can’t make every size in 10+ different finishes. If you haven’t given your feedback yet, take the ML-10 project survey to voice your preferences.

Click THIS LINK to take the survey.

ML-10RT now available for Pre-Order

The ML-10RT forged wheel started life as an engineering passion project. You brought it to life.

It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for. The green flag has dropped and the Forged ML-10RT pre-sale is officially underway! Reserve your set now to ensure you receive wheels from the first production batch, and save 15% off + free shipping in the continental U.S. Due to extremely high demand, we expect a number of popular fitments and finishes to sell out, so act fast. Pre-order discounts are based on product availability, and are subject to change at any time. Please note we fulfill orders in chronological order, so the sooner you place your pre-order, the faster you will get your wheels.


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.



Pre-Order your set of ML-10RT today

Buy with confidence. With only a 25% deposit initially required for these wheels, you can Pre-Order today and lock in the deep discount and ensure you get your preferred fitment and finish early. Don’t miss your chance to be the among the first to run this all-new Apex design.

Check out your vehicles wheel configurator or Fitment Guide for availabile wheel sizes and fitment information such as tire options and brake clearance.

I had an alignment done on my 991.2 to get to -2.5’ and my caster ended up at 10.0. My wheels now rub the brake duct on turn in. I’ll pop the wheels off to trim them up but just wanted to know if this was the norm.

Hi Dreamer99, I have not seen any customers report this on a 991 GT3 before but it could just be down to this caster value. This is something we do see on 992 GT3's with 19" front wheels regardless of alignment spec which is why we note it on the fitment guide.
