Apex EC-7RS 19x11 Forged Wheel - Porsche Center Lock / ET48 / 101mm CB - Satin Black (Porsche) (EC7RS1911ET48-CL-PS-NSBK)
The Apex EC-7RS represents the ultimate expression of Apex's iconic EC-7 design, reengineered for drivers who demand maximum performance without compromise. As part of the Sprint Line forged wheel family, the EC-7RS was developed to reduce rotational mass, improve responsiveness, and withstand the extreme demands of track use. Every design decision was made with one goal in mind: helping Porsche enthusiasts extract more performance from their cars.
Forged from premium 6061-T6 aluminum under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the EC-7RS combines exceptional strength with remarkably low weight. Advanced side-milled spokes, reinforced impact zones, optimized barrel geometry, and Porsche-specific engineering create a wheel that excels on both the street and the circuit. Finished in Satin Black, this Center Lock-specific configuration delivers a purposeful motorsport aesthetic backed by race-proven engineering.

Engineered for Competitive Driving
The EC-7RS was developed specifically for drivers who demand lightweight performance without sacrificing durability. Through extensive Finite Element Analysis and real-world testing, Apex removed material where it was unnecessary while reinforcing areas exposed to the highest loads. The result is a wheel that responds quickly while maintaining the strength needed for aggressive driving.
10K Ton Forged Manufacturing Process
Each wheel begins as a forged aluminum blank weighing as much as 120 pounds before machining. Using specialized equipment capable of applying 10,000 metric tons of pressure, Apex creates a dense aluminum structure with enhanced grain flow and reduced porosity. This advanced process produces a stronger wheel while allowing significant weight reduction compared to conventional cast designs.
Advanced Side-Milled Spoke Design
One of the EC-7RS's defining features is its extensive side-milling. Precision CNC machining removes excess material from the spokes without compromising structural integrity. This reduces rotational inertia and helps improve acceleration, braking response, and steering feel.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
Rather than pursuing lightweight construction at any cost, Apex strategically reinforced critical impact zones with its Sprint Spec inner lip design. This unique profile increases strength in areas most susceptible to damage while maintaining the low weight characteristics that make the EC-7RS such an effective performance wheel.
Brake Clearance Without Compromise
Using detailed 3D laser scans of factory and aftermarket braking systems, Apex engineered exceptional brake clearance into the EC-7RS. The optimized barrel profile and vehicle-specific spoke geometry allow clearance for large brake packages while maintaining aggressive concavity and reduced weight.
Track-Focused Functional Details
Paintless knurled bead seats help reduce tire slippage under heavy acceleration and braking, while laser-engraved specifications make identification quick and easy during maintenance or wheel changes. Oversized lug and socket compatibility further enhances usability for track enthusiasts and racers.
