Forged for Maximum Performance
Each EC-7RS begins life as a forged 6061-T6 aluminum blank weighing up to 120 pounds before machining. Apex utilizes specialized forging equipment capable of exerting 10,000 metric tons of pressure to create an exceptionally dense aluminum structure with superior grain flow and reduced porosity. The result is a stronger foundation that allows for aggressive weight reduction while maintaining the durability required for high-performance driving.
Purpose-Built Motorsport Forgings
Unlike many wheel manufacturers that rely on generic third-party forgings, Apex develops its own proprietary blank profiles specifically for motorsport applications. This allows complete control over brake clearance, spoke geometry, concavity, strength characteristics, and overall wheel performance.
Advanced Side-Milled Spoke Technology
One of the defining features of the EC-7RS is its extensively side-milled spoke design. Precision CNC machining removes unnecessary material from the spokes while maintaining structural integrity. This process significantly reduces weight while preserving the stiffness and strength required for serious performance driving.
Lightweight Without Sacrificing Strength
Rather than chasing the lowest possible weight at the expense of durability, Apex carefully optimized the EC-7RS by removing excess material and strategically reinforcing critical load-bearing areas. This creates a lightweight wheel with improved inner lip strength and a higher load rating compared to many competing designs.
FEA Optimized Engineering
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was utilized throughout development to identify high-stress zones and optimize material placement. This engineering process allowed Apex to maximize strength where it matters while eliminating unnecessary weight wherever possible.
Independently Tested Beyond Industry Standards
The EC-7RS undergoes independent validation through STL, an Ohio-based testing laboratory. Testing protocols exceed standard JWL requirements by incorporating increased loads, longer test durations, and more demanding impact testing procedures for additional peace of mind.
Sprint Spec Reinforced Inner Lip
The EC-7RS incorporates Apex's Sprint Spec inner lip profile, featuring a unique channel design that significantly improves impact resistance. Despite weighing less than many comparable wheels, this reinforced design delivers exceptional durability in demanding environments.
Massive Brake Clearance
Brake clearance has always been a priority for Apex. Utilizing extensive 3D laser scanning and application-specific engineering, the EC-7RS incorporates a high-clearance barrel design and optimized spoke geometry capable of accommodating many large factory and aftermarket brake packages.
Deep Concavity and Aggressive Styling
The advanced forging architecture allows for deeper concave profiles than previous generations. Each wheel profile is engineered specifically for its intended application to maximize both appearance and brake clearance without compromise.
Paintless Knurled Bead Seats
Hard acceleration and braking can cause tires to shift on the wheel's bead seat. The EC-7RS combats this with exposed paintless knurled bead seats that maintain maximum grip on the tire bead, helping reduce unwanted tire movement and balance issues.
Track-Ready Features
The EC-7RS is engineered for enthusiasts who regularly push their vehicles. Oversized race lug compatibility allows the use of impact sockets for quick wheel changes, while laser-engraved specifications make wheel identification fast and easy during maintenance or trackside inspections.
OEM Compatibility
This wheel accepts OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors, standard valve stems, factory mounting hardware, wheel locks, stud conversion kits, and most wheel spacers. A gloss black Apex center cap is included and can be swapped with compatible OE center caps where applicable.
