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

[Expert@ApexWheels]

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.

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.

Any way to get a front pic to see how flush it is to the sidewall? Also how do these differ from the 19" PS-7s?

Can you please clarify what you mean by the photo request that you would like to see? The wheel and tire sidewall photo? Or a photo of how flush it sits to the fender?

The PS-7's are a different design with sharper spokes that extend all the way out to the rim of the wheel, creating a small lip. With the two wheels side by side, it's a little easier to see the difference:

I need some EC7's... But pricing is steep to Canada. Have you guys been increasing the prices each year?

We have not increased the prices of any of our wheels, they have stayed the same price from when we introduced them initially. These are the first 19" wheels we've introduced in our wheel lineup, so the prices have just been released recently. Perhaps you were thinking of the introductory Group Buy pricing when they were first released a couple of months ago?

Any pics on a e90 Jerez? I'm not sure if I'm going to go with anthracite or silver.

Unfortunately we do not have any photos of the 19" EC-7's on a Jerez Black e90 M3 currently. However, here are a couple photos of Black (possibly Jerez, customer didn't specify) e90 M3's on 18" EC-7's in Race Silver and Anthracite:









Hopefully that helps you visualize the color combinations.

David, do you have any more pictures of anthracite EC-7's on a Jet Black e92 M3? The picture in the first post looks like anthracite but I'm not sure.

The first photo in the original post is indeed Anthracite. Here are some 18" EC-7's in Anthracite on a black e90 M3, as we don't have any photos of 19" Anthracite EC-7's on an e92 M3.





Hopefully that helps.

Unfortunately we do not have any photos of the 19" EC-7's on an Interlagos Blue e92 M3. We do have this customer submitted photo of an Interlagos Blue e92 M3 on Race Silver 18" Profile 3 EC-7's:



Hopefully that helps you visualize the color combination.

Thank you very much for kind words and a great question! Unfortunately, we do not currently offer wheel and tire packages. However, we can ship a set of wheels to your local tire shop, so you have the ease of them mounting your preferred tire on to your new wheels, with no hauling around wheels and tires. You will just need to arrange this with your local tire shop and let them know you will have a set of wheels being shipped to their location on your behalf.

Although we do not offer wheel and tire combinations, we do offer TPMS sensors. This sensors we offer are OEM sensors that are specific to your car make and model and you also have the the opportunity to purchase colored valve stems to match the finish of your new wheels.

David, I just realized you are in Livermore! New M3 owner here from Pleasanton. Do you have cars on sight to see what the fitments look like in person? I'm torn between going with EC-7s in anthracite or a 359 design wheel
