Built for Maximum Performance
The EC-7RS was developed to push performance beyond traditional forged wheel designs. Every aspect of the wheel was optimized to reduce weight while maintaining exceptional structural integrity, making it an ideal choice for high-performance Porsche applications.
10K Ton Forged Construction
Each EC-7RS begins as a forged aluminum blank weighing up to 120 pounds before machining. Apex utilizes specialized equipment capable of applying 10,000 metric tons of pressure, creating a dense aluminum structure with improved grain flow, increased strength, and reduced porosity.
Purpose-Built Motorsport Blanks
Unlike generic forged blanks used throughout the industry, Apex engineered proprietary forging profiles specifically for motorsport applications. This allows complete control over wheel geometry, brake clearance, spoke design, and overall performance characteristics.
Side-Milled Spoke Technology
One of the defining features of the EC-7RS is its advanced side-milled spoke design. Precision CNC machining removes unnecessary material while preserving structural strength, resulting in a lighter wheel without sacrificing durability.
Optimized Lightweight Strength
Rather than simply removing as much material as possible, Apex strategically reinforced key load-bearing areas after weight reduction. This approach produces a stronger wheel with a higher load rating while maintaining exceptional weight savings.
FEA Developed Engineering
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was used to identify high-stress zones and optimize material placement. The result is a wheel that offers impressive stiffness, durability, and weight reduction in a single package.
Independent Validation Testing
To verify real-world durability, Apex partnered with STL, an independent testing laboratory in Ohio. Sprint Line wheels are tested beyond standard JWL requirements with increased impact heights, greater loads, and longer testing durations.
Sprint Spec Inner Lip
The reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip incorporates a unique channel profile that significantly improves impact resistance and durability. Even with substantial weight savings, the inner lip remains stronger than previous wheel designs.
Massive Brake Clearance
The EC-7RS benefits from Apex's advanced high-clearance barrel design and application-specific spoke profiles. Extensive laser scanning and testing ensure compatibility with many factory and aftermarket high-performance brake systems.
Enhanced Concavity
The forged architecture enables Apex engineers to create deeper concave profiles while maintaining necessary brake and suspension clearances. The result is an aggressive appearance combined with uncompromised functionality.
Paintless Knurled Bead Seats
Unpainted knurled bead seats help prevent tire slippage during aggressive acceleration and braking. By eliminating paint from the bead surface, the knurling remains sharper and more effective throughout the life of the wheel.
Track-Ready Convenience
The EC-7RS accommodates oversized race lugs and impact sockets for fast wheel changes. Laser-engraved barrel specifications remain clearly visible and easy to identify, even after years of use.
OEM Compatibility
All EC-7RS wheels are 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.
