Built for Serious Performance
Designed from the ground up for enthusiasts and racers, the EC-7RS delivers the ideal balance of low weight, structural rigidity, and long-term durability. Every component has been optimized to maximize performance without sacrificing reliability.
10,000 Metric Tons of Forging Pressure
Each EC-7RS begins as a massive forged aluminum 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 increased strength.
Proprietary Motorsport Forgings
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, spoke design, concavity, and performance.
Side-Milled Spoke Technology
The EC-7RS utilizes advanced side-milled spokes that remove excess material from non-critical areas while maintaining structural integrity. This extensive machining process reduces rotational mass while preserving strength and stiffness for demanding track environments.
Lightweight Without Compromise
Apex engineers carefully remove unnecessary material before strategically reinforcing critical areas. The result is a forged wheel that remains exceptionally lightweight while delivering outstanding durability and impact resistance.
FEA Optimized Design
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was used throughout development to strengthen high-load areas while eliminating material from low-stress zones. This engineering process maximizes the wheel's strength-to-weight ratio.
Independently Validated Performance
The EC-7RS undergoes rigorous third-party testing through STL, an Ohio-based independent laboratory. Apex exceeds traditional JWL standards through higher impact heights, increased loads, and longer testing durations to verify real-world durability.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip
Apex's reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip utilizes a unique channel design engineered to improve impact resistance and structural integrity. Despite significant weight savings, the inner lip remains stronger than previous wheel generations.
Massive Brake Clearance
With over a decade of brake clearance development and 3D laser scanning data, the EC-7RS incorporates advanced barrel geometry and application-specific spoke profiles designed to clear large factory and aftermarket brake systems.
Deep Concavity Profiles
The forged architecture allows Apex to create aggressive concave spoke profiles while maintaining critical brake and suspension clearances. Each profile is optimized for both aesthetics and performance.
Paintless Knurled Bead Seats
Paintless knurled bead seats help prevent tire slippage during hard acceleration and braking. By leaving the knurling exposed, Apex maximizes tire-to-wheel grip for improved balance retention and consistency.
Track-Ready Features
The EC-7RS accommodates oversized race lugs and impact sockets for fast wheel changes. Laser-engraved barrel specifications remain easy to locate and read throughout the wheel's service life.
OEM Compatibility
The EC-7RS accepts OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors, factory mounting hardware, wheel locks, stud conversion kits, and most spacer configurations. Every wheel includes an Apex gloss black center cap.
