Apex EC-7RS 19x11 Forged Wheel 5x130 BP / ET45 / 71.6mm CB - Race Silver (Porsche) (EC7RS1911ET45-5130-716-RS)
The Apex EC-7RS is the lightest and most track-focused evolution of the legendary EC-7 wheel design. Developed within Apex's Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, the EC-7RS was engineered for Porsche enthusiasts who refuse to compromise between weight savings, durability, and outright performance. Every detail was optimized to improve lap times, increase driver confidence, and withstand the demands of serious performance driving.
Manufactured from forged 6061-T6 aluminum under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the EC-7RS achieves an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Advanced side-milled spokes remove unnecessary material, while the reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip increases impact resistance in critical areas. Combined with massive brake clearance, paintless knurled bead technology, and race-inspired engineering throughout, the EC-7RS delivers the performance advantages Porsche drivers expect from a premium forged wheel. The Race Silver finish provides a timeless motorsport appearance that looks equally at home on a street-driven sports car or dedicated track machine.

10K Ton Forged Strength
Each EC-7RS begins as a forged aluminum blank weighing up to 120 pounds before machining. Apex uses 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 process enhances strength while allowing engineers to reduce unnecessary weight.
Purpose-Built Motorsport Forgings
Unlike generic forgings used throughout the industry, Apex developed proprietary blank profiles specifically for motorsport applications. This allows complete control over spoke geometry, barrel shape, concavity, brake clearance, and final wheel performance, resulting in a wheel optimized for serious driving rather than manufacturing convenience.
Advanced Side-Milled Spoke Design
The EC-7RS utilizes wider and deeper side-milled spokes than previous generations. Precision CNC machining removes material that does not contribute to structural integrity, lowering rotational mass while maintaining the stiffness required for aggressive track use and high-performance street driving.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
Apex strengthened critical impact zones by incorporating its Sprint Spec inner lip design. Rather than chasing weight reduction at the expense of durability, engineers strategically reinforced high-stress areas to create a wheel capable of handling demanding track environments while remaining exceptionally lightweight.
Maximum Brake Clearance
Developed using extensive 3D laser scans of factory and aftermarket brake systems, the EC-7RS provides exceptional brake clearance. The optimized barrel and spoke architecture accommodate large brake packages while preserving aggressive concavity and lightweight construction.
Fitment
- Applications Utilizing 5x130 Bolt Pattern and 71.6mm Center Bore
- Verify Brake Clearance, Suspension Clearance, and Tire Fitment Prior to Installation
FAQs
Why does the EC-7RS use paintless knurled bead seats?
Paintless knurling maintains maximum surface grip between the wheel and tire, helping reduce tire movement under heavy braking and acceleration commonly encountered during track driving.
Can the EC-7RS be used with factory Porsche TPMS sensors?
Yes. The wheel is compatible with OEM Porsche TPMS sensors as well as most aftermarket sensor options and standard valve stems.
