APEX EC-7 Wheel 18x9.5" ET22 5x120 (Set of 4)

APEX EC-7 Wheel 18x9.5 ET22 5x120
(Set of 4 wheels, without tyres)

The APEX EC-7 is a strong and light weight flow-formed wheel specifically designed for BMW fitments. It has been extremely well proven on BMW (and other brands) racing all around the world.

These wheels have excellent brake clearance which allows the EC-7 to clear a Brembo 6 piston, 380mm kit, where the ARC-8 cannot. This is vital on 18" applications because they are the ideal wheel diameter for performance and race.

EC-7 Design

Fit Matters
The right solution for every application

An optimized car setup begins with the perfect wheel and tire fitment. Without model-specific attention, maximum performance is compromised. Each size was selected to find the right balance between a clean fit and the most grip possible. The EC-7's wide range of widths, diameters, offsets and face profiles result in unique fitments ranging from 8.5" to 11" wide. Each wheel combines these features to meet the different brake caliper, strut, and fender clearance needs of each BMW model. The EC-7 offers most vehicle applications a range from direct-fit to extremely aggressive. Daily drivers and professional racers don't have the same needs, so why should they be forced to buy the same exact fitment?

Face Profile
One design, many levels of beauty

The EC-7 wheel is available in three increasingly-concave face profiles; The shallowest face provides increased caliper clearance on narrow applications, while the deepest concave face reduces weight and creates a stunningly aggressive appearance on low offset and wide-width applications. The APEX EC-7 design offers these 3 face profiles in both 18" and 19" sizes.

Spokes
More than just a pretty face

The curved spokes of the EC-7 serve many purposes, both in terms of form and function. The split "Y" spokes were carefully evaluated from every aspect to ensure light weight and remarkable strength. Their curved design increases brake calipers in almost every application, allowing the EC-7 to fit where the ARC-8 design simply cannot. The unique curvature of each face profile reduces center pad material as they are optimally selected for each unique width and offset. The lack of a deep front lip and spokes that connect directly to the barrel's lip, producing a rigid wheel with even load distribution.

Brake Clearance - Spokes
Spokes that work for you

If the spokes of a wheel don't clear your brake calipers, then the wheel can't be used at all. We made sure all 18" APEX EC-7 wheels can properly clear OEM steel brakes, spacer free. Because of the large variation in clearance needs, APEX produced the EC-7 wheel using three unique face profiles. When the correct profile is used for each specific vehicle application, every Big Brake Kits can clear the spokes spacer free. The flattest face profile offers maximum caliper clearance for
