Forged Sprint Line Engineering
Every EC-7RS begins as a forged aluminum blank weighing up to 120 pounds before machining. Apex utilizes specialized forging equipment capable of generating 10,000 metric tons of pressure, creating a dense aluminum structure with improved grain flow and reduced porosity. The result is a wheel that delivers exceptional strength while remaining remarkably lightweight.
Advanced Side-Milled Technology
One of the defining characteristics 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 mass while preserving the stiffness and structural integrity required for aggressive performance 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 capable of handling demanding street and track conditions while maintaining exceptional performance characteristics.
Massive Brake Clearance
Using extensive 3D laser scanning and application-specific engineering, Apex developed the EC-7RS with exceptional brake clearance capabilities. The optimized barrel design and spoke geometry accommodate many large factory and aftermarket brake systems while maintaining aggressive styling and lightweight construction.
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 use both on and off the track.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x120 Bolt Pattern and 72.56mm 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 wheel designs.
Will this wheel work with factory TPMS sensors?
Yes. The EC-7RS accepts OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors along with standard valve stems.
