Apex EC-7 19x11 Flow-Formed Wheel (EC71911ET78-512065-703-SBZ) - Chevy Corvette
Motorsport Performance with Satin Bronze Style
The Apex EC-7 19x11 Flow-Formed Wheel combines lightweight performance, exceptional strength, and aggressive styling for Corvette enthusiasts who demand more from their wheels. Finished in Satin Bronze, this EC-7 delivers track-proven engineering with a timeless motorsport-inspired design. Apex utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to create a wheel that offers impressive strength-to-weight characteristics while remaining more affordable than a fully forged wheel.
The Flow Form Advantage
Flow forming enhances the grain structure and mechanical properties of the wheel barrel, creating a stronger and stiffer wheel while reducing unnecessary weight. This manufacturing process allows Apex to produce wheels with load ratings that exceed many competing designs while maintaining outstanding performance characteristics for both street and track use.

Designed for Big Brake Applications
Brake clearance is a critical consideration for performance vehicles. Through extensive engineering, laser scanning, and repeated test fitting, Apex designed the EC-7 to clear many large brake packages that often require larger wheel diameters from competing manufacturers.
Weight Optimized Engineering
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was used to identify high-stress areas requiring reinforcement while removing material where it provided no performance benefit. The result is a lightweight wheel capable of handling the rigors of performance driving without sacrificing durability.
Premium Finish and Certification
The EC-7 receives a multi-stage liquid paint finish over a powder-coated base layer. This process leaves critical mounting surfaces, lug seats, and center bores untouched to maintain proper fitment and torque values. Every Apex Flow-Formed wheel also meets or exceeds JWL standards and carries independent VIA certification.
