Apex EC-7 19x11 Flow-Formed Wheel (EC71911ET78-512065-703-RS) - Chevy Corvette
Track-Proven Performance with the Apex EC-7
The Apex EC-7 19x11 Flow-Formed Wheel delivers a motorsport-inspired design engineered to maximize strength, reduce weight, and provide exceptional brake clearance for performance-focused Corvette owners. Utilizing advanced flow-forming technology, the EC-7 achieves forged-like strength characteristics while maintaining a more accessible price point. Finished in Race Silver, this wheel combines aggressive styling with the durability required for both street and track environments.
Why Choose Flow Formed Construction?
Flow forming enhances the barrel's grain structure and mechanical properties, resulting in a stronger and stiffer wheel while allowing material reduction in critical areas. This process produces a lightweight wheel capable of handling demanding driving conditions without compromising durability. Apex engineering allows the EC-7 to achieve load ratings that exceed some competing forged wheel offerings.

Engineered for Serious Brake Clearance
The EC-7 was designed specifically to provide exceptional brake clearance without requiring oversized wheel diameters. Through extensive development, Apex created wheel profiles capable of clearing many large performance brake systems that often require larger wheels from competing manufacturers.
Optimized Concavity and Strength
Using three unique face profiles, the EC-7 maximizes concavity wherever possible while maintaining critical brake and suspension clearances. Extensive Finite Element Analysis allowed Apex engineers to reinforce high-stress areas while removing excess material elsewhere, resulting in an exceptionally lightweight and durable wheel.
Quality Finishing and Certification
Every EC-7 wheel receives a multi-stage liquid paint finish applied over a powder-coated base layer. This process leaves mounting surfaces, center bores, and lug seats untouched to maintain proper fitment and torque values. Additionally, every Apex Flow-Formed wheel meets or exceeds JWL standards and carries independent VIA certification.
