Built for Maximum Track Performance
The EC-7RS was developed for drivers who prioritize performance above all else. Through extensive engineering and testing, Apex created a wheel that delivers exceptional strength and stiffness while minimizing unnecessary weight.
10,000 Tons of Forging Force
Each EC-7RS 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 extremely dense aluminum structure with superior grain flow and reduced porosity for maximum strength and durability.
Proprietary Motorsport Forgings
Unlike many manufacturers that rely on generic third-party forgings, Apex developed proprietary forging blanks specifically for motorsport applications. This allows complete control over brake clearance, spoke geometry, concavity, and overall performance.
Advanced Side-Milled Spokes
The EC-7RS features extensively side-milled spokes that remove excess material without sacrificing structural integrity. This advanced machining process reduces rotational weight while maintaining the rigidity necessary for demanding track use.
Lightweight Yet Exceptionally Strong
Rather than focusing solely on reducing weight, Apex strategically reinforces critical areas after material removal. This engineering philosophy results in a wheel that remains lightweight while offering outstanding strength and durability.
FEA Optimized Engineering
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was utilized throughout development to strengthen high-load areas while removing unnecessary material from low-stress zones. The result is an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.
Independently Tested
Every Sprint Line wheel undergoes rigorous third-party testing through STL, an Ohio-based independent testing facility. Apex exceeds traditional JWL testing standards through increased impact heights, extended testing cycles, and higher load requirements.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip
The reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip utilizes a unique channel design that improves impact resistance and structural rigidity while maintaining low overall 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 capable of clearing large factory and aftermarket brake systems.
Deep Concavity Design
The forged construction allows for aggressive concave spoke profiles while maintaining proper brake and suspension clearances. Each profile is optimized to deliver both performance and aesthetics.
Paintless Knurled Bead Seats
Paintless knurled bead seats help minimize tire slippage during aggressive acceleration and braking. Leaving the knurling exposed maximizes grip between the tire and wheel for improved consistency and balance retention.
Track-Ready Functionality
The EC-7RS is engineered to accommodate oversized race lugs and impact sockets for fast wheel changes at the track. Laser-engraved barrel specifications remain easy to identify 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.
