APEX EC-7RS Forged Sprint Line | 19" x 10" ET25 | 5x120mm | 72.56mm
APEX Race Parts designs and manufactures high performance, flow-formed and forged wheels for a growing list of vehicle makes. They are constantly expanding their product line with new wheel designs, wheel accessories and other performance and race parts. It is their mission to produce and distribute high-quality performance parts that meet the demands of racing and street performance enthusiasts.
The APEX EC-7RS is part of the Forged Sprint™ Line of wheels — the ultimate expression of lightweight strength and performance engineering. Building on the proven design of the original EC-7, this forged version was meticulously re-engineered to shed weight, increase stiffness, and deliver uncompromising performance for drivers who demand every advantage on both street and track.
Forged under immense pressure and crafted with advanced motorsport technology, the EC-7RS combines deep concavity, precision machining, and refined detailing to achieve unmatched performance and aesthetics.

EC-7RS FEATURES
10K TONS OF PRESSURE
APEX’s new forgings weigh as much as 120 pounds before machining. To form such a thick blank, the company requires specialised equipment capable of 10,000 metric tons of pressure. This extreme pressure increases the strength of the aluminium by eliminating porosity and improving the grain structure.
TRUE MOTORSPORT BLANKS
Many companies use third-party blanks intended for non-motorsport wheels, which can severely limit sizes, concavity, spoke design, and critical brake clearance. APEX designed its own blank profiles from scratch to provide total control over the final product.
SIDE-MILLED SPOKES
One of the most significant upgrades to the EC-7RS is the addition of wider and deeper side-milled spokes. Any excess material that doesn’t add strength is machined out using a precision CNC ball cutter. Side-milling is often deemed cost-prohibitive by others, but for true performance without compromise, APEX believes it is essential.
A STRONGER LIGHTWEIGHT WHEEL
APEX’s forged Sprint™ wheels are lightweight without the strength compromises found on typical lightweight wheels. First, APEX machines out as much material as possible, then purposefully adds one pound back to reinforce critical areas, creating a stronger inner lip and a higher load rating. What’s the point of a lightweight wheel if it’s fragile?
Load Ratings (lbs) 18"
JWL Load Standard | 1521
Typical Forged Wheels | 1521
APEX Flow Formed | 1550
APEX Forged Sprint™ Line | 1600
WEIGHT OPTIMISED
APEX conducted extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reinforce high-stress areas and remove material where it didn’t improve strength. The result is a wheel that is exceptionally light without the strength compromises found on typical lightweight wheels.
APEX does not rely solely on computer simulations or in-house testing. Independent testing is considered essential to ensure reliability and safety in this unregulated industry. For the Forged Sprint™ wheels, APEX selected STL, an independent laboratory in Ohio, to perform rigorous tests well beyond JWL standards, including extended testing duration, higher impact drop heights, and increased total load.
TOUGHER INNER LIP
Introducing the Sprint™ spec inner lip, with a unique channel profile that makes it even stronger than previous designs. So even though the Sprint™ wheels are pounds lighter than comparable flow formed wheels, the inner lip is stronger.
32% more reinforcement than the APEX flow formed wheels.
BIG BRAKE CLEARANCE
From day one, APEX has been on a mission to build wheels that clear big brakes. The all-new Forged Sprint™ wheels are the product of everything APEX have developed over the past 10+ years, including an innovative high-clearance barrel design and vehicle-specific spoke profiles.
DEEPER CONCAVITY
The new APEX forgings were redesigned to create extra deep, concave spoke profiles. Their new shape allows APEX to make any profile, from flat to deep and everything in between. Each one is optimised for a specific application using 3D laser scans of factory and aftermarket brake kits.
PAINTLESS KNURLED BEADS
Whether it's a day at the track or months of street driving, repeated hard braking and acceleration can make a tyre slip along the bead seat and go out of balance, causing vibration. Knurled beads help, but are less effective when painted over. The APEX Forged Sprint™ wheels feature unpainted knurled beads that stay sharp and maximise grip.
BUILT FOR IMPACT SOCKETS
Track wheels need track tools. Don’t settle for wheels that require undersized tuner lugs or thin walled sockets. All APEX wheels accommodate over-sized race lugs and impact sockets to make swapping wheels lightning fast.
32mm socket diameter clearance.
LASER ENGRAVED SPECS
As track enthusiasts, APEX know how frustrating it is to try to locate and decipher wheel specs that have been hastily hammered into the rim or become unreadable over time. With the new Forged Sprint™ wheels, APEX chose to invest a little extra and laser-engrave the specs on the barrel, in plain sight, making them easy to find and read. (You’re welcome.)
REAL DRIVERS NEED REAL PERFORMANCE
Not all claims of performance are backed up by facts — and it's a big problem. APEX defines real performance through wheels that are precisely engineered, rigorously tested, and objectively measured. Unlike under-engineered “fashion” wheels that overpromise and underdeliver, APEX wheels are designed for genuine performance, backed by independent testing and verifiable results.
A WHEEL YOU CAN DEPEND ON
LIFETIME WARRANTY
All APEX wheels come with a lifetime structural warranty against defects in workmanship and materials, plus a 12 month finish warranty. Exchanges are fast, easy, and hassle-free. Contact us for full terms and conditions for details.

Curb rash or pothole damage on the street? Make an oopsie at the track? We’ve all been there. APEX is proud to offer 50% off replacement wheels, no matter the damage. Contact us for full terms and conditions or for more details.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
HUB CENTRIC

WHEEL HARDWARE
APEX wheels can be used with all OEM mounting hardware, proper aftermarket hardware and most wheel spacers. Wheel locks and stud conversion kits also work perfectly.
TPMS
All APEX wheels are compatible with both OEM and aftermarket Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS), as well as standard-fit valve stems.

After 3 other BMW workshops couldn't fix the problem with my M3. SouthernBM sorted it. Excellent to deal with, great communication and customer service.
