Forged Strength Without Excess Weight
Every EC-7RS starts as a forged aluminum blank weighing up to 120 pounds before machining. Produced using an immense 10,000 metric tons of forging pressure, the process improves material density, reduces porosity, and enhances grain structure. The result is a stronger, more durable wheel capable of handling the demands of high-performance driving.
Advanced Side-Milled Engineering
Apex utilizes extensive CNC side-milling to remove excess material that does not contribute to structural integrity. This process lowers rotational mass while maintaining critical strength, resulting in improved responsiveness, steering feel, and overall vehicle performance.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
Unlike many lightweight wheels that sacrifice durability, the EC-7RS strategically reinforces critical impact zones. The Sprint Spec inner lip design provides increased strength and impact resistance while maintaining the exceptionally low weight targets required by performance enthusiasts.
Independently Validated Performance
The EC-7RS is independently tested through STL, a respected testing facility in Ohio. Testing exceeds traditional JWL requirements through increased impact severity, higher loads, and extended testing durations to verify real-world durability and performance.
Massive Brake Clearance
Developed using over a decade of brake fitment data and advanced 3D laser scanning technology, the EC-7RS features a high-clearance barrel and application-specific spoke geometry that accommodate many large factory and aftermarket brake systems.
Built for Enthusiasts
From paintless knurled bead seats that maximize tire grip under hard acceleration and braking to oversized lug openings that accommodate race hardware and impact sockets, every detail of the EC-7RS was designed with performance enthusiasts and racers in mind.
Fitment
