Forged for Maximum Performance
Built using Apex's advanced Sprint Line architecture, the EC-7RS is engineered to provide an ideal balance of low weight, exceptional rigidity, and long-term durability. Every aspect of the wheel is optimized for enthusiasts who demand reliable performance under extreme driving conditions.
10,000 Tons of Forging Pressure
Each EC-7RS wheel begins as a massive forged blank weighing up to 120 pounds. Apex utilizes specialized forging equipment capable of applying 10,000 metric tons of pressure, creating an exceptionally dense aluminum structure with superior grain flow and reduced porosity for maximum strength.
True Motorsport Forging Blanks
Unlike many wheel manufacturers that rely on generic third-party forgings, Apex developed proprietary blank profiles specifically for motorsport applications. This provides complete control over wheel geometry, brake clearance, concavity, and overall performance.
Advanced Side-Milled Spokes
The EC-7RS utilizes extensively side-milled spokes that remove excess material without compromising structural integrity. This advanced machining process reduces rotational weight while maintaining the strength and stiffness necessary for serious performance driving.
Lightweight Without Sacrificing Strength
Apex engineers carefully remove unnecessary material before strategically reinforcing key load-bearing areas. This approach creates a wheel that remains exceptionally lightweight while offering greater durability and impact resistance than many competing lightweight wheel designs.
FEA Optimized Engineering
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was used throughout development to strengthen high-stress areas and eliminate excess material from low-load zones. The result is a forged wheel with an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio.
Independent Third-Party Testing
Every Sprint Line wheel undergoes independent validation through STL, an Ohio-based testing laboratory. Testing protocols exceed traditional JWL requirements through increased impact heights, extended testing durations, and higher load levels.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
The EC-7RS features Apex's reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip, utilizing a unique channel profile that improves impact resistance and structural integrity while maintaining low weight.
Massive Brake Clearance
Developed using over a decade of brake clearance research and 3D laser scanning technology, the EC-7RS incorporates advanced barrel geometry and application-specific spoke profiles designed to clear large factory and aftermarket brake packages.
Deep Concavity Design
The forged architecture allows Apex to create aggressive concave spoke profiles while maintaining proper brake and suspension clearance. Every profile is optimized to balance aesthetics and performance.
Paintless Knurled Bead Seats
Unpainted knurled bead seats help reduce tire slippage during hard acceleration and braking. By leaving the knurling exposed, Apex maximizes tire grip at the bead seat for improved consistency and balance retention.
Track Ready Features
The EC-7RS accommodates oversized race lugs and impact sockets, making wheel changes quick and efficient at the track. Laser-engraved barrel specifications remain easy to read throughout the life of the wheel.
OEM Compatibility
The EC-7RS accepts OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors, factory mounting hardware, wheel locks, stud conversion kits, and most spacer configurations. A gloss black Apex center cap is included with every wheel.
