18x10" ET25 Race Silver APEX EC-7R Forged BMW Wheel
Simply because a wheel is forged does not guarantee that it’s stronger than a cast or flow-formed wheel. Forging is a manufacturing process, not a measure of strength. APEX's new EC-7R is a significant step forward. Now lighter and stronger than the original flow formed version thanks to "I" beam spokes and forged manufacturing. It’s enhanced with the features and benefits you’ve been waiting for.
APEX was committed to a meaningful step up in strength when they designed their entire line of forged wheels, so they increased load ratings significantly. 18” and 19” BMW wheels went up by 250 pounds per wheel. That’s 1,000 pounds more capacity per car to better handle cornering abuse from downforce, sticky tires, and heavier chassis.
Significant material was removed from the side of each spoke on the EC-7R to give it "I" beam-like strength. Many wheels have webbing between spokes that create the illusion of side milling. APEX took material off the side to save weight and didn’t add weight just for aesthetics. Additionally, the flow formed EC-7R featured APEX's first barrel design with Brembo 380mm clearance behind 18” wheels which is carried forward to the new Forged version. Typical blank forgings can have poor brake clearance profiles. By developing its own new profiles and new dies, APEX wheels can clear Brembo 380mm kits behind 18” wheels and 400mm carbon ceramics behind 19" wheels. This is done by optimizing the barrel profiles to suit the particular vehicle and caliper shape the wheels are intended for. APEX also conducted extensive Finite Element Analysis to reinforce high-stress areas and to remove material where it didn’t improve strength. The end result is a fully forged wheel with an ideal balance of strength and weight.
All APEX wheels are purpose-built for select vehicle applications to not require centering rings. All BMW specific 5x120mm bolt pattern wheels feature a direct-fit, 72.56mm center bore. APEX wheels can be used with all OEM mounting hardware, proper aftermarket hardware, and wheel spacers. Wheel locks and stud conversion kits also work perfectly. OEM and aftermarket Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors and standard fit valve stems will fit these wheels.
