► APEX | 19" EC-7 Wheels - New Fitments

APEX 19” EC-7 Wheel

These new 19” widths and offsets are more aggressive than our track-oriented 18” sizes, and allow for a more flush fitment. Wide widths and specialized offsets make sure these wheels are still a big step up in tire sizes and performance, not just an aesthetic upgrade. The wheel’s design has been tweaked to further enhance functionality and appearance. The center pad depth has been increased on all sizes to further accentuate spoke concavity. Inner lips were thickened to increase strength and better handle the abuse from low profile and stretched tires. These wheels include a newly redesigned sleek black center cap made from a more heat-resistant material for increased durability in track environments. Of course, OEM center caps and TPMS sensors still work perfectly.



Available Fitments
19x8.5" ET35 - 21.90lbs - Profile 1 - $339
19x8.5" ET20 - 21.80lbs - Profile 3 - $339

19x9.5" ET33 - 22.50lbs - Profile 3 - $369
19x9.5" ET22 - 22.90lbs - Profile 3 - $369
19x10.0" ET25 - 23.50lbs - Profile 3 - $379
19x10.5" ET22 - 23.90lbs - Profile 3 - $399



EC-7 Product Information:
An optimized car setup begins with the perfect wheel fitment. Without the ideal fitment, your car's performance potential is always compromised. With this in mind, we’ve added 10 new 19” BMW-specific fitments to compliment our 13 existing 18" sizes. The 19” EC-7’s are produced using three unique face profiles ranging from moderate to extreme concavity. This wide range of vehicle-specific 19” fitments allows for maximum concavity, proper caliper clearance, wider tires, and an overall ideal setup.

The EC-7 wheel line was originally created to address the concerns of more and more racers and track day enthusiasts: long term durability, fit and performance. With the increase of faster and heavier cars being used in racing, HPDEs, and spirited driving, the EC-7 was designed and engineered to handle extreme abuse on the track & street and offer a wide range of direct fitments, all while producing a lightweight wheel. We’ve taken these strength and endurance features even further with the 19” line to produce a very stylish and functional wheel.

The 19" wheels are manufactured in the same process that the 18" wheels are, so the strength will be the same. However, the inner lips were thickened to increase strength and better handle the abuse from low profile and stretched tires. How are you bending the wheels, what tire make, model and sizes are you using? Are you driving in areas with very harsh road conditions with lots of potholes, or are these track wheels that sees heavy use on track? We'd love to find out what is causing the bends, as bending three wheels is very alarming for us. Have you contacted us regarding this issue before? Feel free to call us at 925.245.9773 so that we can troubleshoot what may be causing this, as this issue is uncommon with proper tire sizes.
