Community Feedback Needed! Apex Wheels Project ML-10 Survey

[Apex Wheels]

Some of you may have already seen the reveal of this project on our instagram, but we wanted to reach out to the Mustang 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.​

I mean, it looks like any other mesh pattern that has been around for 30 years.

Thank you for the feedback. There is a LOT different in the details with the ML-10 in its current form, but I do honestly appreciate your perspective on it.

Don't get me wrong, your ML-10 wheel looks nice but to me at least, it doesn't differentiate itself from so many other very similar designs. Your pricing and direct fitment for Forged offerings is totally on point though.

I like the 3pc appearance, and it will look great in the larger sizes. Please consider offering a wider 20x12 for the gt500s rear and square fitment while you are at it.

Looks hard to clean.
I'm in the minority as I prefer the grip of OE pads vs their dust output.

Would look great on the SN95 (94-04) Mustangs for sure.

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.

I am late to the party as usual. I have been looking for a set of 19s to use on the street that would also work in a pinch for track duty. These look to be the logical choice.

I don't need much convincing to pull the trigger, but was wondering if there were any deals going for forum members.
