Forged Classic Line

For those not willing to compromise on strength, our Forged Classic wheels were made with the highest load ratings of any prior Apex wheel design at the time of their launch. Utilizing 6061-T6 Aluminum and a 10,000 ton forging process, the ARC-8R and EC-7R offer exceptional strength without sacrificing a reasonably light weight figure. By utilizing our own proprietary blanks, Apex is able to maintain complete control over all aspects of the design process. Complete with premium finish options and unpainted knurled beads to fully eliminate tire slip, the Classic forged line goes beyond the needs of any hardcore race or track enthusiast.

The Fully Forged ARC-8R provides the same classic look as the original with added durability, superior brake clearance, and exquisite details. Through the use of high clearance forging blanks, the ARC-8R can easily clear massive brakes, unlike its Flow Formed counterpart. Only ever offered for the BMW market, the ARC-8R has become the go to upgrade for long time Apex customers looking for that added strength of a true fully forged wheel.

The Fully Forged EC-7R goes a step above the Flow Formed EC-7 in every regard. The EC-7R is designed with I-Beam spokes made at a reduced thickness to provide the most brake clearance of any Apex wheel ever made. With no decrease in load rating, the forging process allows us to produce a wheel that is stronger, lighter and features superior brake clearance. Best of all, that split seven spoke looks just gets better with the addition of I-Beam spokes and our premium polished and brushed clear finish options.

Whether you are a serious racer who cannot afford to risk a bent wheel, or an enthusiast who won’t settle for second best, our Forged Classic wheels will not disappoint. In creating a product without compromise, Apex has designed a wheel that can stand up to the abuse of racing without missing a beat. If durability and performance are a priority, then there is simply no substitute.
