Apex EC-7 19x11 Flow-Formed Wheel (EC71911ET78-512065-703-SMBK) - Chevy Corvette
Lightweight Strength for Corvette Performance
The Apex EC-7 19x11 Flow-Formed Wheel delivers the ideal combination of strength, reduced weight, and track-ready durability for Corvette enthusiasts. Finished in Satin Black, this EC-7 features a timeless motorsport-inspired design backed by advanced engineering and flow-formed construction. Designed for drivers who demand both performance and reliability, the EC-7 offers exceptional brake clearance, optimized weight distribution, and proven durability for street and track use alike.
Advanced Flow-Formed Construction
Flow forming enhances the barrel's grain structure and mechanical properties, creating a stronger and stiffer wheel without the cost of full forging. This manufacturing process allows Apex engineers to reduce unnecessary material while maintaining exceptional strength and load capacity. The result is a lightweight wheel that exceeds the performance expectations of many competing designs.

Massive Brake Clearance
The EC-7 was developed with performance braking systems in mind. Through extensive laser scanning and repeated test fitting, Apex engineered this wheel to clear many large brake packages that often require larger wheel diameters from competing manufacturers.
Optimized for Performance Driving
Extensive Finite Element Analysis allowed Apex engineers to strategically reinforce high-stress areas while removing excess material where strength gains were unnecessary. This process creates a wheel that remains exceptionally lightweight without compromising durability under demanding driving conditions.
Premium Finish and Certified Quality
Each EC-7 wheel receives a multi-stage liquid paint finish applied over a powder-coated base coat. Critical mounting surfaces, center bores, and lug seats remain untouched to ensure proper fitment and torque accuracy. Every Apex Flow-Formed wheel meets or exceeds JWL standards and carries independent VIA certification.
