Apex EC-7RS 18x10.5 Forged Wheel - Brushed Clear (EC7RS18105ET22-5120-7256-BC) - BMW
The Apex EC-7RS takes the proven EC-7 motorsport design and elevates it to an entirely new level through advanced Sprint Line forged construction. Designed for drivers who demand every possible performance advantage, the EC-7RS delivers reduced weight, increased strength, and exceptional durability to help maximize performance on the street, at autocross events, and during demanding track sessions.
Finished in a stunning Brushed Clear finish that highlights the forged aluminum beneath, the EC-7RS combines aggressive styling with uncompromising engineering. Every wheel begins as a proprietary forged blank and undergoes extensive CNC machining, side milling, and structural optimization to create one of the lightest and strongest wheels Apex has ever produced.
Sprint Line Forged Engineering
The EC-7RS is manufactured from forged 6061-T6 aluminum blanks formed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure. This process improves material density, minimizes porosity, and enhances grain structure for superior strength. Apex then applies extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA), side milling, and strategic reinforcement of critical load zones to create a wheel that excels under extreme driving conditions.

FAQs
What makes the EC-7RS different from the standard EC-7?
The EC-7RS utilizes fully forged construction, proprietary motorsport-specific forging blanks, side-milled spokes, a reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip, and extensive weight optimization to deliver lower weight and increased strength compared to the flow-formed EC-7.
Why are paintless knurled bead seats important?
Paintless knurled bead seats help maximize tire grip against the wheel under hard acceleration and braking, reducing the chance of tire slippage that can affect wheel balance and performance.
