Designed for Massive OEM Brakes
The all-new TC-10RT is a fully-forged wheel designed to solve the brake clearance problems faced by Audi and VW platforms that feature massive OEM 8-piston brakes. It features a heritage motorsport aesthetic that draws inspiration for its split 10-spoke design from the wheels used on the wide-body race cars Audi and VW runs in the TCR series.

Uncompromising Performance
TC-10RT delivers remarkable stiffness, strength, and excellent weight-savings in tailored fitments that require no centering rings, spacers, or additional hardware to fit the platforms it was designed for. Whether building a track weapon, an optimized street machine, or using das auto as a medium for self-expression, this wheel was designed specifically for passionate Audi and VW enthusiasts.

Ultimate Brake Clearance
This wheel design doesn't just clear the huge OEM brakes found on these cars, certain fitments can accommodate any big brake kit on the market for these platforms and clears every relevant brake scan in our library – a first for an Apex design.

TCR Motorsport Heritage
The TC-10RT project was originally dreamt up by our in-house VW/Audi market fitment expert, himself a deeply dedicated VAG tuning enthusiast. With its split 10-spoke design, the TC-10RT brilliantly evokes the look of the wheels VW and Audi ran in the legendary Touring Car Racing (TCR) series and translates it into a tremendously functional forged wheel that nods at the motorsport heritage of these brands in a way no other wheel does.

Direct Fitment Engineering
We recognized the lack of high-performance forged wheel options being made in direct fitments for these cars, so we engineered that uncompromising brake clearance into a well-balanced, fully-forged wheel that delivers tremendous stiffness, excellent strength, and respectable weight-savings, all in fitments tailored for the unique needs of small-bore (5x112/57.1mm) Audi/VW platforms. Unlike the majority of aftermarket wheels available for these cars, the TC-10RT works with OEM hardware and requires no centering rings, spacers, or additional hardware to fit.

Made to Brake, Not to Break
The TC-10RT is part of our Touring Line. Its unique 10-spoke design delivers exceptional stiffness and it boasts a load rating that exceeds JWL standards at 1,600 lbs, and at ~19.9 to 20.9 lbs (depending on your fitment), it offers excellent weight-savings. In fact, this wheel weighs around 3 lbs less than the simple cast TCR competition wheel it takes its visual inspiration from, and it shaves off almost 8 lbs relative to these platforms' OEM wheels. For example, in an 18x9" ET42 fitment, it is 20.4 lbs, whereas the OEM wheel found on an 8V RS3 is 28.2 lbs.

Reinforced Sprint Spec Inner Lip
We incorporated our reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip for extra strength where it's needed most at the least supported point on the wheel, making it a truly competition-grade wheel with remarkable durability engineered into its design.

Optimized Spoke Profile
Part of how we accomplished TC-10RT's unrivaled brake clearance was by developing a unique spoke profile for it. This profile delivers as much inner brake clearance as possible, but does so without sacrificing strength. Additionally, those spokes are side-milled, which is more than just an upscale aesthetic detail, but removes as much excess weight from the spokes as possible without compromising stiffness.

Initial Fitment Offerings
The fitments we've produced the TC-10RT in were engineered with our massive library of 3D scans for the perfect fit and fully-optimized for Audi and VW:

18x8.5" ET43 - OEM+ fitment and is a direct fit for all MK5 through MK8 VW models, as well as all non-RS Audi models.

18x9" ET42 - Performance street and track fitment for all MK5 through MK8 VW models and non-RS Audi Models, and works as an OEM+ fitment on RS Audi models.

18x9.5" ET41 - Performance street and track fitment that's a direct fit for small-bore Audi 8V RS3 and TTRS models, and will also fit the 8Y generation of RS3 with a 20mm spacer on the front wheels.

Heritage Motorsport Style, Classic Apex Finishes
The initial finish offerings for this wheel include Anthracite, Motorsport Gold, Race Silver, and Satin Black, giving you plenty of options. We've also designed the TC-10RT to be compatible with OEM center caps for an OEM+ look.
