Introducing The All-New Forged APEX EC-7R
5x100 Wheels Engineered Specifically For Your 86/BRZ

We're very excited to officially release our first line of forged wheels engineered specifically for your 86/BRZ chassis. For over 13 years now our mission at APEX has been to provide weekend track warriors and competitive w2w racers with lightweight, durable wheels at affordable pricing. Our new line of forged wheels builds upon these principles, now enhanced with the benefits of forged manufacturing.

The EC-7R is packed with new functional and aesthetic features, and most importantly, they meet the demands of 86/BRZ owners. You asked for wheels with a concave face profile that still had the ability to clear the factory PP/TRD Brembo brakes without the need for spacers, and we listened.

These wheels were built to withstand the repetitive abuse drivers cycle wheels through on the race track. Many manufacturers rely on the word "forged" to imply strength when their actual load ratings are just as low as cast wheels. Our EC-7R wheels were designed from the start to have measurably higher load ratings so they don't just sound stronger, they are stronger.

That's an amazing price for fully forged wheels. If I hadn't bought the Gruppe-S TC-105x wheels one week before you released these Apex wheels, I probably would have gone with these instead. I love that they are natively hubcentric on the twins from the factory and are also compatible with OEM center caps. Truly the best OEM+ wheels on the market for the 86/brz!

Good luck with sale guys. :party0030:

They are great wheels in my experience. I've been beating on mine on the track since I got them and will add another.. oh.. 12-15 hours of track use to them in 2 weeks :thumbup:

I have some Apex cast wheels as well that I also like. I've been using both of my Apex sets over my several RPF1 sets lately.

Appreciate you sharing your experience Dave, and pumped to hear that you are enjoying them on the race track as intended.

The "I" beam spokes on the Fully Forged APEX EC-7R don't just look good, they reduce weight without sacrificing strength.

The Fully Forged EC-7R provides superior brake clearance to any APEX wheel produced before it. The forging process allows us to reduce spoke width while still achieving a 1,600 lbs load rating.

Apologies for missing your post, and thank you for catching that. We need to update our OP with actual weights now that the wheels are on the shelves.

The initial CAD weights our engineers supply us with are typically very close, but we'll get this info updated shortly! :thumbsup:
