A FITMENT FOR YOU
Need help selecting the proper wheel fitment for your BMW? APEX Race Parts have tirelessly test-fitted hundreds of setup combinations in order to provide direct-fit, spacer-free wheel packages for everything from showroom-fresh cars to all-out race builds. Their detailed fitment guides help you avoid costly trial-and-error and walk you through every step of finding your perfect setup.
Fit Matters
Fit Matters The right solution for every application
An optimized car setup begins with the perfect wheel and tyre fitment. Without model-specific attention to each wheels specifications, 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 10.5" wide. Each wheel combines these features to meet the different brake caliper, strut, and fender clearance needs of each BMW model. Most vehicle models have options for wheels that range from direct-fit to aggressive for specialty applications.
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.
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 centre 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 A lot of room in a tight space
Spoke clearance is only half the problem. The barrel construction on a wheel also needs to be big enough to clear the sides of your caliper and rotor. Many aftermarket wheels that have aesthetic compromises in their design may work with smaller stock brakes, or smaller diameter big brake kits, but the larger kits will pose a major problem. The barrel of the EC-7 wheel offers unmatched caliper clearance because wheels shouldn’t limit your choice of aftermarket brake kits, and brake kits shouldn’t force you to run oversized wheels. APEX 2D modelled most Big Brake Kits available in Solidworks and tweaked the wheel design of the EC-7 prior to production in order to fit as many kits as possible.
Hub Centre Easy to access lugs
Race wheels can't just be light, they need to function in a high performance environment. Unlike the narrow lug recesses of most other wheels, the EC-7 wheel features a wide open hub centre that easily accommodates oversized race lugs and beefy impact sockets. This allows for quick and easy wheel changes and prevents chips and scratches from tools.
Hub Centric No rings or adapters here
All APEX EC-7 wheels are purpose built for select vehicle applications, and hub locating rings are never required for any BMW application. All 5x120mm bolt pattern wheels feature a direct-fit, 72.56mm centre bore.
Centre Cap A factory fit and finish
APEX don't reuse one cap design for all of their wheels. Every EC-7 wheel is designed to work with factory centre caps. You can easily replace APEX centre caps with OEM roundels for a clean factory look. The EC-7 wheels will ship with the APEX Gloss Black centre cap that mimics the size and shape of a BMW factory centre cap.
Wheel Hardware Original or Aftermarket, it all works
The EC-7 wheel can be used with all OEM and aftermarket mounting hardware with a 60° tapered seat. Lug bolts, wheel locks, and stud conversion kits all work perfectly. The EC-7 wheel also accepts wheel spacers without issue. The shallow rear chamfer allows the wheel to remain hub centric even when 5mm flat spacers are used. The chamfer is deep enough to clear the chamfered lip found on some aftermarket spacers that would typically cause improper seating of the wheel and, therefore, wheel vibration.
TPMS Sensors They all fit
TPMS sensors, which monitor tyre pressure, are one piece of technology that can't be compromised. The attention to OEM compatibility on the EC-7 wheel doesn't end with centre caps. All APEX wheels accept OEM and aftermarket equivalent TPMS sensors, and any standard sized metal or rubber valve stem.
THE APEX STANDARD
Flow Forming Benefits of forging, without the pain
These APEX wheels are produced using a manufacturing process known as flow forming. This process significantly reduces weight in the barrel, which has the greatest impact on rotational mass. During the manufacturing process, rollers apply high pressure to the inner barrel, compressing the aluminium into its final shape. This effectively eliminates porosity and aligns the grain structure of the metal, which increases tensile strength. The end result is a lightweight and extremely strong barrel that equals that of a traditional forged wheel at a fraction of the cost.
Testing & Certifications Verifiable 3rd party testing
Many companies promote their wheels as being certified by the VIA when they actually aren’t. That’s like using the USDA logo on food without permission. APEX wheels get officially tested and registered by the VIA in Japan, and they have the proof to back it up.
Japan’s JWL is a commonly followed standard for wheel load ratings. The APEX flow formed wheels meet, and most exceed, their load rating requirements. Most manufacturers only meet the minimum while some don’t even do that. Check and verify load ratings before you buy.
Weight & Strength Optimization It’s all in the details
Various design features were implemented to ensure that the EC-7 wheel design was light, but had even more strength to handle the abuses experienced in endurance racing. APEX began with a beefy, multi-spoke, one-piece design. They then added reliefs in the mounting pad to remove weight between lug holes, where they could safely save weight. The design was then run through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to further optimize the spoke and barrel design. The result is a lightweight wheel with extra strength in all the right places. Use the EC-7 with confidence. It’s over built for both street and track.
Finishes Because being faster is just not enough
The EC-7 wheel is available in multiple finishes. All APEX wheels are finished using a comprehensive multi-stage liquid paint system over a powder coated base coat. Standard finishes include gloss-metallic finishes, and semi-gloss or matte finishes.
Often overlooked, painted or powder coated lug hole seats can cause hardware to loosen or begin the spread of paint chipping to more visible sections. The coating process of the EC-7 leaves lug holes, centre bores and mounting pads untouched, which ensures proper fit and torque values.
Lifetime Warranty A wheel you can depend on
As of recent, all APEX wheels now come with a lifetime structural warranty and 1 year finish warranty, so you can be confident in your purchase. Please contact us for the full terms and conditions.

I can’t say this enough! I have three large Tri Color American Bully’s and boy do they love to chew. I tried everything. Then I found these and man do they love them. I have bought two packages over two years and they are still all over the yard. I highly recommend this product you will not regret it.

🦆 The Perfect Compromise for Squeaker-Shy Pups: Non-Stop Entertainment and Zero Mess!
If you have a dog that loves to play but turns into an anxious ball of nerves the second a toy lets out a loud, high-pitched squeak, finding the right interactive toy can be a real challenge. I ordered the PawBang Interactive Crinkle Duck for exactly this reason, and it has been an absolute triumph! It provides all the sensory stimulation and fun of a traditional plush toy without any of the noise anxiety. It is a beautifully designed, thoughtfully constructed pet toy that my dog absolutely adores. There is a squeeker in the head but the entire body is crinkly so he loves it.
Why This Crinkle Duck is an Absolute Game-Changer:
Perfect for Dogs Afraid of Squeakers: Many interactive dog toys rely entirely on loud, piercing squeakers to grab a pet's attention, which can unfortunately terrify sensitive or rescue dogs. This duck features a fantastic, satisfying crinkle paper material inside its body instead. It creates a gentle, crunchy, paper-like sound whenever your dog bites or steps on it, mimicking the rustling of prey and keeping them completely engaged and excited without triggering any fear or anxiety.
Safe and Mess-Free No-Stuffing Design: If you have a dog that loves to dissect their toys, you know the nightmare of coming home to a living room covered in white polyester fluff. Because this plush toy is completely stuffing-free, there is absolutely zero mess to clean up if your dog is a chewer. More importantly, it eliminates the dangerous choking hazard of ingested stuffing, making it a much safer choice for unsupervised play.
Tear-Resistant and Durable Build: Don't let the soft, plush exterior fool you—this duck is built to last. Measuring a generous 14" x 8", it features a rugged, tear-resistant lining and reinforced stitching that holds up beautifully to enthusiastic shaking, tugging, and carrying. It gives you the comforting texture of a plush toy combined with the longevity of a heavy-duty chew toy.
Great Shape for Interactive Play: The flat, wide design makes it incredibly easy for dogs of all sizes to grab, carry around, and track. It is the perfect shape for a fun game of indoor fetch or a gentle game of tug-of-war, and when playtime is over, it doubles as a wonderfully soft, comforting chin rest for nap time.
The PawBang Crinkle Duck is an exceptional product that fills a huge need for sensitive pets. It is tough, mess-free, and delivers a wonderful tactile experience that keeps dogs entertained for hours. If you want to give your pup a fun, interactive toy but need to skip the stressful squeaks, this is the absolute perfect solution. 5 out of 5 stars!

Big Colorful and My Dogs Love it!
My dogs love their new toy! The little one doesn't care for the crinkle part but loves the squeaky head. She's the oldest, so the big one always defers to her and plays with the crinkle body. I'm blessed that they'll play with it together! LOL!
My goldendoodle LOVES to chew and tear at squeaky toys until she gets them open and gets to the source of the noise. Needless to say, stuffed toys ended up all over the house and yard in a mess that I had to clean up and more importantly keep the squeaker away from her so she didn't eat or swallow it! I have found a couple of 'tough stuffingless' toys for her but it's hard to do. I saw this and decided to give it a try and glad I did! She's had it a couple of weeks now and there's not even a loose seam anywhere! Time will tell how long it lasts, but for now, we're both happy with it!
As you can see in the picture, this is a large dog toy, but even small dogs will love playing with it. There is no stuffing in the body but instead has the crinkle paper throughout. The only squeaker is in the head. It feels like there might be a little stuffing in the head, but I can't verify that. I can verify that the head has been chewed on for a couple of weeks now and shows no sign of wear, which is awesome! It shipped in a plastic bag inside of a small box, so it arrived undamaged and ready to play with.
If you have an aggressive chewer, I recommend giving this a try. It's a great value, a much better price than most of the other 'tough' toys especially at this size!

Cute but bigger than expected since title says good for "small dogs."
The listing says this toy is good for small dogs, and I was comparing it with other small dog toys, so I missed that it is 14 inches long. It is definitely too big for my puppy right now, but it is super cute and seems well made, so hopefully he can use it more as he grows.
The material is very soft, and the crinkle body makes a nice playful sound. The squeaker in the head works well too. Since it is a little large for my puppy, it almost works better as a rope-style toy for tug of war right now. I appreciate it's stuffing free so it wont make a big mess if it breaks open or give him stuff to eat.
Overall, this is a cute, soft, good-quality toy, but I would pay close attention to the size if buying for a small puppy.

Seems durable and well made.
Review of Interactive Crinkle Duck Dog Toy – No Stuffing Plush Squeaky Pet Toy (14"x8"), Tear-Resistant Reinforced Stitching, Odor-Free Chew Toy, Keeps Them Busy for Small, Medium & Large Dogs
Brand: PawBang
My little dog loves toys. She is very smart and loves to play either alone or with me. I would toss the toy and she will get it and fling it around, or fetch it back. This toy works fine. It has a squeaker that she can find and work, or I can push to catch her interest. The toy seems safe for dogs, does not have fluff fill, which an active chewer will work to get at and then scatter all over. This has crinkly filler that sounds and feels sort of like cellophane plastic.
She has not shown too much interest in this toy yet, her favorite toys are heavy round type with a piece of cloth or “handle” she can grip in her teeth and fling, but that is not to say this toy wouldn’t attract another dog or attract her at a later date. They all seem to have certain favorites they gravitate to. The toy seems well made and durable.
