Overview
Ford Mustang S550 GT350/R Wheel Performance
The Mustang GT350 & GT350R are fantastic cars, except they have very fragile carbon wheels or extremely heavy standard wheels, both of which deserve an upgrade. If you want to extract even more performance from your car, a lightweight chassis specific set of wider wheels and tires will make a world of difference. We created forged wheels such as the Apex VS-5RS, SM-10RS, EC-7RS and flow formed wheels such as the EC-7 and SM-10 to increase performance. Find out what fitment is best for your application in our S550 Mustang GT350/R Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide.
A Brief History of the 2015-2020 Ford Mustang GT350/R
For 2015, Ford brought back a legendary name to their new S550 Mustang lineup in the Shelby GT350 and GT350R. Featuring a high revving flat plane crank V8 pumping out 526 horsepower codenamed Voodoo and mated to a manual Tremec TR-3160 transmission, this was an enthusiast's dream Mustang until production ended in 2020. Larger fenders meant you could stuff more tire up front, the most essential mod for a Mustang owner who cares about handling.
While overall the GT350 is very similar to the GT350R, the R does feature some handy upgrades if you’re focused on track work. The biggest headline are Carbon Fiber wheels, which was unheard of at the time for a car with such an affordable price tag. While those carbon wheels were a great marketing headline, many GT350R owners have found out the hard way they are not the best to live with in the real world. Not only are they quite susceptible to damage as we’ve seen firsthand, but they are tremendously expensive to repair, or worse, replace. This has led to GT350/R wheels being one of our best sellers here at Apex. Our Forged designs can offer better strength and durability, with only a minor weight penalty and huge cost savings compared to the oem carbon wheels.
What Makes it a Good Track Car
Did we mention flat plane crank V8, wider fenders, and a manual transmission? The GT350/R is simply a weapon on track, even in stock form. Everything about the car just works in harmony with one another. It’s won multiple best drivers car awards throughout its six year production cycle and is a staple at any track day across the country. This Hagerty review of perhaps the most special of them all, a 2020 Shelby GT350R Heritage Edition, will surely confirm any doubts about the capabilities of this machine.
EC-7 Specifications

The Flow Form Advantage
Flow forming enables us to create high performance wheels without the price premium of forging. It improves the mechanical properties and grain structure of the barrel, increasing its strength and stiffness, which allows us to use less material and reduce weight. Thanks to our superior engineering, our flow formed wheels have a higher load rating than some competitors' forged wheels.

Big Brake Clearance
Big brakes often require bigger, heavier, more expensive wheels, which aren’t ideal in a performance environment. The EC-7 is one of our many wheels which solve this problem. Through comprehensive laser scanning and endless rounds of test-fitting, we’ve created 18” wheels to clear huge brakes that typically require 19” wheels from other manufacturers.

Maximizing Concavity
We use the deepest concave face profiles we can for every application after factoring in critical clearances such as brake calipers. The EC-7 utilizes 3 unique profiles to make this possible, with the deepest concave face delivering reduced weight and a stunningly aggressive appearance.

Weight Optimized
We conducted extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reinforce high-stress areas and to remove material where it didn’t improve strength. The result is a wheel that is exceptionally light without the strength compromises found on typical lightweight wheels.²

Built for Impact Sockets
Track wheels need track tools. Don’t settle for wheels that require undersized tuner lugs or thin walled sockets. All Apex wheels accommodate over-sized race lugs and impact sockets to make swapping wheels lightning fast.

Socket Diameter Clearance

Finishing Touches
The EC-7 is finished using a multi-stage liquid paint over a powder coated base coat. This coating process leaves lug holes, center bores and mounting pads untouched, which ensures proper fit and torque values.

JWL and Beyond
All Apex Flow Formed wheels meet or meaningfully exceed JWL load rating requirements. Some manufacturers don't meet the minimum requirements, yet still claim to be compliant. Always compare load ratings to ensure you aren’t sacrificing critical strength for a slightly lighter wheel.

True VIA
The VIA is an independent wheel testing and auditing agency similar to TÜV. Many companies falsely claim their wheels have been certified, and even use the VIA stamp without permission. Our Flow Formed wheels have been certified, and we provide the registration numbers for every wheel. Protect yourself. Demand registration numbers from manufacturers.

Additional features

Hub Centric
All EC-7 wheels are purpose built for select vehicle applications. Very few applications require centering rings.

Center Caps
All Apex wheels come with our gloss black cap included that is interchangeable with the OE cap. We also offer additional colors for select fitments.

Wheel Hardware
Apex wheels can be used with all OEM mounting hardware, proper aftermarket hardware and most wheel spacers. Wheel locks and stud conversion kits also work perfectly.

TPMS
All Apex wheels accept OEM and aftermarket Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors and standard fit valve stems. If you don’t have sensors, then select from our metal stems available in multiple finishes.


REAL DRIVERS NEED REAL PERFORMANCE.
Not all claims of performance are backed up by facts—and it's a big problem. Don't get sold fashion when you want function.

A Wheel You Can Depend On
Accidental Damage Replacement
Curb rash or pothole damage on the street? Make an oopsie at the track? We’ve all been there. Apex is proud to offer 50% off replacement wheels, no matter the damage.
Lifetime Warranty
