Race-Bred Forged Construction
Built specifically for performance driving, the EC-7RS is engineered to deliver an exceptional combination of low weight, rigidity, and durability. Every aspect of the wheel has been optimized to improve vehicle performance without sacrificing reliability.
10,000 Metric Tons of Forging Pressure
Each EC-7RS begins as a forged aluminum blank weighing up to 120 pounds. Apex utilizes specialized forging equipment capable of generating 10,000 metric tons of pressure, creating an exceptionally dense aluminum structure with superior grain flow and reduced porosity for outstanding strength.
Proprietary Motorsport Forging Blanks
Unlike many wheel manufacturers that rely on generic third-party forgings, Apex designed its own forging blanks specifically for motorsport applications. This allows complete control over wheel geometry, concavity, brake clearance, spoke design, and overall performance.
Advanced Side-Milled Spokes
The EC-7RS features extensively side-milled spokes that remove excess material from non-critical areas while maintaining structural integrity. This advanced machining process helps reduce rotational weight while preserving the stiffness needed for high-performance driving.
Lightweight Without Sacrificing Strength
Apex engineers carefully remove unnecessary material before strategically reinforcing critical load-bearing areas. The result is a wheel that remains exceptionally lightweight while delivering outstanding impact resistance and durability.
FEA Optimized Engineering
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was used throughout development to strengthen high-stress areas while eliminating material from low-load zones. This engineering process maximizes the wheel's strength-to-weight ratio.
Independent Third-Party Testing
Every Sprint Line wheel undergoes rigorous independent testing through STL, an Ohio-based testing laboratory. Apex exceeds traditional JWL standards through increased testing loads, higher impact heights, and extended durability testing.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
The reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip utilizes a unique channel profile that improves impact resistance and structural integrity. Despite significant weight savings, the inner lip remains stronger than previous wheel generations.
Massive Brake Clearance
Developed using more than 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 systems.
Deep Concavity Profiles
The forged construction allows Apex to create aggressive concave spoke profiles while maintaining critical brake and suspension clearances. Every profile is engineered to maximize both aesthetics and performance.
Paintless Knurled Bead Seats
Paintless knurled bead seats help reduce tire slippage during aggressive acceleration and braking. Leaving the knurling exposed maintains maximum tire-to-wheel grip for improved consistency and balance retention.
Track-Ready Features
The EC-7RS accommodates oversized race lugs and impact sockets for quick wheel changes. Laser-engraved barrel specifications remain easy to read throughout the life of the wheel, making identification simple during service and maintenance.
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.
