Purpose-Built Sprint Line Performance
The EC-7RS was developed for drivers seeking every possible advantage in weight reduction and strength. By combining advanced forging technology with extensive engineering analysis, Apex created a wheel capable of withstanding the demands of competitive driving while minimizing rotational mass.
10,000 Metric Tons of Forging Pressure
Each EC-7RS starts as a forged aluminum blank weighing up to 120 pounds. Apex utilizes specialized forging equipment capable of producing 10,000 metric tons of pressure, creating an exceptionally dense aluminum structure with improved grain flow and reduced porosity for maximum strength.
Proprietary Motorsport Forging Blanks
Unlike generic forged blanks commonly used throughout the industry, Apex developed proprietary forging profiles specifically for motorsport applications. This allows complete control over wheel geometry, spoke shape, brake clearance, concavity, and structural integrity.
Advanced Side-Milled Spokes
One of the defining features of the EC-7RS is its aggressively side-milled spoke design. Precision CNC machining removes excess material from non-critical areas, reducing weight while maintaining the rigidity and strength required for high-performance driving.
Lightweight Strength Without Compromise
Apex engineers strategically removed unnecessary material before reinforcing critical load-bearing areas. The result is a wheel that remains exceptionally lightweight while delivering superior durability and impact resistance compared to many lightweight alternatives.
FEA Optimized Engineering
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was used throughout development to identify stress concentrations and optimize material placement. This process creates an ideal balance of strength, stiffness, and reduced weight.
Independently Tested Beyond Industry Standards
Rather than relying solely on internal testing and simulations, Apex partners with STL, an independent testing facility in Ohio. Sprint Line wheels undergo testing that exceeds standard JWL requirements through increased loads, greater impact heights, and extended durability cycles.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip Technology
The reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip incorporates a specialized channel profile designed to improve impact resistance and overall wheel durability. Despite substantial weight savings, the inner lip remains stronger than previous wheel designs.
Massive Brake Clearance
Developed using advanced laser scanning and vehicle-specific engineering, the EC-7RS features a high-clearance barrel profile and optimized spoke geometry designed to accommodate large factory and aftermarket brake systems.
Enhanced Concavity
The forged architecture enables Apex to create deeper and more aggressive concave profiles while maintaining necessary brake and suspension clearances. The result is a wheel that delivers both exceptional performance and aggressive styling.
Paintless Knurled Bead Seats
The EC-7RS utilizes unpainted knurled bead seats to maximize tire grip on the wheel barrel. This helps minimize tire movement under heavy acceleration and braking, reducing the potential for balance issues and vibration.
Track-Ready Features
Built with motorsport use in mind, the EC-7RS accommodates oversized race lugs and impact sockets for quick wheel changes. Laser-engraved specifications remain easy to read throughout the wheel's lifespan, simplifying service and identification.
OEM Compatibility
The EC-7RS is compatible with OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors, factory wheel hardware, wheel locks, stud conversion kits, and most spacer systems. Every wheel includes an Apex gloss black center cap.
