Your car looks great with those on there! The forged wheels do have a slightly updated finish compared to the flow formed wheels, I'm glad you like it.

I'm a bit surprised to hear about the rubbing, especially with what looks to be a 295/35-19 rear tire. Typically 305s and even 315s fit back there without rubbing at that camber spec. Is it both sides or just one? The +35mm offset was chosen to work up front with commonly available spacers and wheel studs in a rotatable 11" combination. SCCA Street Class was the casualty there, unfortunately. We do have BMW bore wheels in legal offsets if someone wanted to run in that class (19x11" +44mm).

Thank you! Ah I see. Makes sense. 305/30 V601s on the rear. Just slight rub marks on the shoulders on both sides. Will be running more camber soon. Thanks for the reply.

I currently have the EC-7 square setup 19x10.5 that I use for track purposes only. I am looking for a forged setup for the track, similar to my current setup. What are your suggestions?

Feel free to check out our fitment guides which breaks down our recommended setups: https://apexwheels.com/fitment-guide...hardcore-track

I think 19x11" ET35 front and rear would be a nice option.

Some of you may have already seen the reveal of this project on our instagram, but we wanted to reach out to the Camaro community on the forums as well to collect feedback about the development of a new wheel design.


Project ML-10 Background:


After Josh, one of our Senior Product Engineers installed a widebody kit on his race car project, he had to design a custom set of wheels to fit his extreme application. Originally a one off project, when he showed the team what he created, we were floored. And our community was too when we shared a picture on Instagram and Facebook.


We’ve made it an official project, but to make this wheel a reality, we need you to decide on some of the details by taking our survey.





Need more information? Subscribe to our newsletter and check out project updates along with additional photos on our website.

I love these. I hope you get these into production.

I submitted the survey.

So far no plans for Enduro wheels in the Camaro market, but if enough demand comes up, we can absolutely make some!

Bummer! It's a heavy car that I always see a ton of at the track.
Are there bmw sizes that will fit with hub rings like with std vs5?

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 among the first to run this all-new Apex design.

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