Apex EC-7RS 19x11.5 Forged Wheel 5x130 BP / ET72 / 71.6mm CB - Anthracite (Porsche) (EC7RS19115ET72-5130-716-AN)
The Apex EC-7RS is the ultimate lightweight evolution of the iconic EC-7 design, engineered for Porsche enthusiasts who demand maximum performance without compromise. As part of Apex's Sprint Line forged wheel collection, the EC-7RS combines advanced forging technology, aggressive weight reduction, and race-proven durability to help improve acceleration, braking performance, steering response, and overall track capability.
Built from forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the EC-7RS delivers exceptional structural strength while remaining remarkably lightweight. Featuring side-milled spokes, a reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip, paintless knurled bead technology, and massive brake clearance, this wheel was designed to thrive in the most demanding street and track environments. Finished in Anthracite, it offers a clean, motorsport-inspired appearance that complements any Porsche build.

Sprint Line Forged Performance
Every EC-7RS begins as a massive forged aluminum blank weighing up to 120 pounds before machining. Apex utilizes specialized forging equipment capable of producing 10,000 metric tons of pressure to create a dense aluminum structure with superior grain flow and reduced porosity. This manufacturing process results in a wheel that delivers exceptional strength and durability while maintaining incredibly low weight.
Advanced Side-Milled Engineering
One of the defining features of the EC-7RS is its extensively side-milled spoke design. Through precision CNC machining, Apex removes excess material that does not contribute to strength, reducing rotational weight while maintaining the structural integrity necessary for aggressive driving and motorsport use.
Reinforced Sprint Spec Inner Lip
Unlike many lightweight wheels that sacrifice durability to achieve lower weight, the EC-7RS incorporates Apex's reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip. This advanced design strengthens critical impact areas while preserving the lightweight characteristics that make the Sprint Line so effective on track.
Engineered for Big Brake Clearance
Using extensive 3D laser scanning and vehicle-specific engineering, Apex developed the EC-7RS to provide exceptional brake clearance. The optimized barrel design and spoke geometry accommodate many large factory and aftermarket brake systems without compromising strength, weight, or appearance.
Track-Focused Details
From paintless knurled bead seats that help reduce tire slippage during hard acceleration and braking to laser-engraved specifications that remain easy to identify over years of use, every detail of the EC-7RS was designed with serious enthusiasts and racers in mind.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x130 Bolt Pattern and 71.6mm Center Bore
- Verify Brake Clearance, Suspension Clearance, and Tire Fitment Prior to Installation
FAQs
What makes the EC-7RS different from a flow-formed wheel?
The EC-7RS utilizes fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum construction with extensive machining and reinforcement techniques, resulting in a lighter and stronger wheel than typical flow-formed designs.
Will this wheel work with factory TPMS sensors?
Yes. The EC-7RS accepts OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors along with standard valve stems.
