Apex EC-7RS 19x11.5 Forged Wheel 5x130 BP / ET72 / 71.6mm CB - Race Silver (Porsche) (EC7RS19115ET72-5130-716-RS)
The Apex EC-7RS is the most advanced and lightweight evolution of the iconic EC-7 wheel design, engineered specifically for Porsche enthusiasts who demand maximum performance. As part of Apex's Sprint Line forged wheel collection, the EC-7RS combines reduced weight, enhanced strength, and race-proven engineering to help improve acceleration, braking response, cornering capability, and overall track performance.
Manufactured from forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the EC-7RS delivers exceptional structural integrity while maintaining impressively low weight. Featuring side-milled spokes, a reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip, paintless knurled bead technology, and massive brake clearance, this wheel was developed for enthusiasts who refuse to compromise between strength and performance. The Race Silver finish provides a timeless motorsport-inspired appearance that complements both modern and classic Porsche builds.

Sprint Line Forged Engineering
Every EC-7RS begins as a forged aluminum blank weighing up to 120 pounds before machining. Using specialized equipment capable of generating 10,000 metric tons of pressure, Apex creates a dense aluminum structure with superior grain flow and reduced porosity. This manufacturing process results in a wheel that delivers exceptional strength while remaining remarkably lightweight.
Advanced Side-Milled Technology
One of the defining features of the EC-7RS is its extensively side-milled spoke design. Precision CNC machining removes excess material that does not contribute to strength, reducing rotational weight while maintaining the stiffness and structural integrity required for aggressive street and track driving.
Reinforced Sprint Spec Inner Lip
Unlike many lightweight wheels that sacrifice durability to save weight, the EC-7RS incorporates Apex's reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip. Engineers intentionally strengthened critical impact zones, creating a wheel that withstands demanding driving conditions while maintaining its lightweight performance characteristics.
Massive Brake Clearance
Using extensive 3D laser scanning and application-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 while maintaining aggressive styling and reduced weight.
Track-Focused Details
Every detail of the EC-7RS was designed with enthusiasts and racers in mind. Paintless knurled bead seats help reduce tire slippage during hard acceleration and braking, while laser-engraved specifications remain easy to identify throughout years of track and street use.
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 advanced machining and reinforcement techniques, resulting in a lighter and stronger wheel than typical flow-formed designs.
Will this wheel accept OEM TPMS sensors?
Yes. The EC-7RS accepts OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors along with standard valve stems.
