Apex EC-7RS 19x11 Forged Wheel 5x120 BP / ET44 / 72.56mm CB - Satin Black (BMW) (EC7RS1911ET44-5120-7256-SMBK)
The Apex EC-7RS represents the pinnacle of lightweight forged wheel engineering. As part of Apex's Sprint Line, this ultralight version of the legendary EC-7 was developed for enthusiasts and racers who demand maximum performance without compromise. By combining reduced rotational mass, increased strength, and advanced motorsport engineering, the EC-7RS helps improve acceleration, braking performance, steering response, and overall vehicle dynamics.
Forged from premium 6061-T6 aluminum under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the EC-7RS delivers exceptional structural integrity while maintaining remarkably low weight. Featuring side-milled spokes, a reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip, massive brake clearance, and paintless knurled bead technology, this wheel was engineered to excel in demanding street and track environments. The Satin Black finish provides a clean, aggressive appearance that perfectly complements performance-focused BMW builds.

Sprint Line Forged Performance
Every EC-7RS begins life as a forged aluminum blank weighing up to 120 pounds before machining. Apex utilizes specialized forging equipment capable of producing 10,000 metric tons of pressure, creating an exceptionally dense aluminum structure with superior grain flow and reduced porosity. This advanced manufacturing process results in a wheel that delivers remarkable strength while remaining incredibly lightweight.
Advanced Side-Milled Engineering
One of the most significant upgrades found on 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 durability required for aggressive driving and competitive motorsports.
Reinforced Sprint Spec Inner Lip
Unlike many lightweight wheels that sacrifice durability in pursuit of weight savings, the EC-7RS incorporates Apex's reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip. Engineers strategically strengthened critical impact areas to improve durability while preserving the lightweight characteristics that define the Sprint Line.
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 lightweight construction.
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 throughout years of use, every detail of the EC-7RS was designed with serious enthusiasts and racers in mind.
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.
