Forged for Competitive Driving
The EC-7RS starts with a forged 6061-T6 aluminum blank and is transformed through extensive CNC machining into one of Apex's most performance-focused wheel designs. Every detail was developed to reduce weight while preserving the strength required for demanding street and track environments.
10,000 Metric Tons of Forging Pressure
Each forging is produced using specialized equipment capable of generating 10,000 metric tons of pressure. This intense process improves grain structure, minimizes porosity, and creates an exceptionally strong foundation that allows Apex engineers to aggressively optimize weight without compromising durability.
Proprietary Motorsport Blank Design
Unlike many aftermarket wheels built from generic forgings, the EC-7RS utilizes proprietary Apex-developed forging blanks engineered specifically for motorsport use. This allows greater control over brake clearance, spoke architecture, concavity profiles, and overall wheel performance.
Advanced Side-Milled Spokes
One of the most noticeable engineering upgrades found on the EC-7RS is its extensive side-milled spoke design. Precision CNC machining removes excess material from low-stress areas, reducing rotational mass while maintaining the rigidity and strength required for serious performance driving.
Lightweight Strength Philosophy
Rather than simply removing as much material as possible, Apex engineers optimized the EC-7RS by strategically reinforcing critical load-bearing areas after weight reduction. The result is a lightweight wheel that remains exceptionally durable under demanding conditions.
Finite Element Analysis Optimization
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was used throughout development to identify stress concentrations and optimize material placement. This engineering process helps achieve outstanding strength-to-weight ratios while maintaining long-term reliability.
Independently Validated Performance
The EC-7RS undergoes independent testing through third-party laboratory facilities rather than relying solely on simulations or internal testing. Testing standards exceed standard JWL requirements through increased loads, longer durations, and more aggressive impact evaluations.
Sprint Spec Reinforced Inner Lip
Apex's Sprint Spec inner lip features a unique reinforced channel profile designed to improve impact resistance and durability. Despite weighing significantly less than many alternatives, the EC-7RS delivers exceptional strength where it matters most.
Massive Brake Clearance Engineering
Apex utilized extensive 3D laser scanning and vehicle-specific engineering to create a high-clearance barrel profile and optimized spoke geometry. This design provides compatibility with many large factory and aftermarket brake systems commonly found on high-performance builds.
Deep Concavity Profiles
The advanced forged architecture allows Apex to create aggressive concave spoke profiles while maintaining proper brake clearance. Each profile is carefully engineered to balance aesthetics, functionality, and structural integrity.
Paintless Knurled Bead Seats
To help prevent tire slippage under heavy acceleration and braking, the EC-7RS utilizes paintless knurled bead seats. By leaving the knurling exposed rather than painting over it, maximum bead grip is maintained throughout the life of the wheel.
Track-Ready Details
Designed with enthusiasts in mind, the EC-7RS accommodates oversized race lugs and impact sockets for rapid wheel changes. Laser-engraved barrel specifications make identification easy during trackside maintenance and service.
OEM Compatibility
The EC-7RS accepts OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors, factory mounting hardware, wheel locks, stud conversion kits, and most wheel spacer configurations. A gloss black Apex center cap is included with every wheel.
