Overview
Ford Mustang S550 V6/Ecoboost/GT/Mach 1 Wheel Performance
S550 Mustangs (S550, V6, Ecoboost, GT, Mach 1) are great cars, however they are prone to understeer and most models came with relatively narrow and heavy wheels which really limited their abilities on the street and track. Tossing a set of lightweight chassis specific wheels and tires in wider widths will make a world of difference to extract more performance. 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 Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide.
A Brief History of the 2015-2023 Ford Mustang
The S550 Mustang has gone global! Building on the success of the previous generation by modernizing its new chassis, the 6th Generation Mustang was introduced in the 2015 model year, running through 2023. It saw many models including the mainstay V6, GT and newly introduced Ecoboost 4 cylinder, with additional special editions such as the Bullit & Mach 1. Despite the massive body and suspension changes, the S550 shares nearly identical wheel fitments with the previous S197 generation.
What Makes it a Good Track Car
The biggest news when the S550 launched was Ford’s decision to finally move on from the solid rear axle, going to a fully independent rear suspension. This was the first time every model didn’t have a big stick axle behind them, and the first time since the SN-95 Cobras for any submodel. While first being met with skepticism from traditionalists who watched poorly driven test cars perform slower than the outgoing model, the S550 as a whole quickly proved its radical redesign was worth the initial drama. As usual, aftermarket suspension components and a set of Apex S550 Mustang Wheels are an easy way to improve performance.
In 2021, Ford announced the anticipated return of the Mach 1 nameplate. As with previous Mach 1 iterations, they didn’t just slap some badges on it and call it a day. The S550 Mach 1 featured a revised intake system with more power, the beautifully smooth Tremec TR-3160 from the GT350 (with optional 10 speed automatic), and subframe/suspension components from the Shelby models. This is likely the final special submodel of the S550 platform, with the S650 set to debut as a 2024 model year car. The Mach 1 is a staff favorite here at Apex, and many other enthusiasts feel the same. The Drive called it “A triumphant end to an iconic generation” in their recent review of a 2022 Mach 1.
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.
32mm
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.
Accessories
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
All Apex wheels come with a lifetime structural warranty against defects in workmanship and materials, plus a 1 year finish warranty. Exchanges are fast, easy, and hassle-free.
