Apex EC-7RS 19x11 Forged Wheel 5x130 BP / ET45 / 71.6mm CB - Satin Black (Porsche) (EC7RS1911ET45-5130-716-SMBK)
The Apex EC-7RS represents the most track-focused and weight-optimized evolution of the legendary EC-7 design. Developed as part of Apex's Sprint Line forged wheel collection, the EC-7RS was engineered specifically for enthusiasts who demand faster lap times, sharper vehicle response, and uncompromising durability. By combining cutting-edge forging technology with extensive motorsport development, Apex created a wheel capable of delivering elite-level performance without sacrificing reliability.
Manufactured from forged 6061-T6 aluminum under an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the EC-7RS achieves an exceptional balance of strength and weight reduction. Side-milled spokes remove unnecessary mass, while a reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip enhances durability in critical impact zones. Combined with massive brake clearance, paintless knurled bead technology, and Porsche-specific engineering, the EC-7RS is designed to perform under the most demanding conditions. The Satin Black finish delivers a purposeful motorsport appearance that complements both modern and classic Porsche builds.

Forged for Maximum Performance
Each EC-7RS starts 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, producing a dense aluminum structure with exceptional grain flow and reduced porosity. This process allows engineers to create a wheel that is both stronger and lighter than conventional alternatives.
Proprietary Motorsport Blank Design
Rather than relying on generic third-party forgings, Apex designed proprietary motorsport-specific blank profiles from the ground up. This gives engineers complete control over barrel shape, spoke geometry, concavity, brake clearance, and final performance characteristics, resulting in a wheel purpose-built for serious driving.
Side-Milled Spokes and Weight Reduction
The EC-7RS features extensively side-milled spokes designed to eliminate material that does not contribute to strength. Using precision CNC machining, Apex reduces rotational mass while maintaining the rigidity required for aggressive street driving and competitive track use.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
Many lightweight wheels reduce durability in pursuit of lower weight. Apex took a different approach by reinforcing critical impact zones with its Sprint Spec inner lip design. This results in improved impact resistance without sacrificing the lightweight performance that defines the Sprint Line.
Massive Brake Clearance
Developed using extensive 3D laser scans of factory and aftermarket brake systems, the EC-7RS delivers exceptional brake clearance. The optimized barrel profile and application-specific spoke design provide room for large brake packages while maintaining 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 are paintless knurled bead seats important?
Paintless knurling provides maximum grip between the tire and wheel, helping reduce tire movement during hard acceleration and braking commonly encountered during track driving.
Will the EC-7RS accept factory Porsche TPMS sensors?
Yes. The wheel is compatible with OEM Porsche TPMS sensors as well as most aftermarket TPMS systems and standard valve stems.
