Apex ARC-8 17x10 Flow-Formed Wheel 5x120 BP / ET25 / 72.56mm CB - Anthracite (BMW) (ARC81710ET25-5120-7256-AN)
The Apex ARC-8 has earned its reputation among BMW enthusiasts for one simple reason: it delivers serious track-ready performance without the premium cost of a forged wheel. Designed using advanced flow-forming technology, this 17x10 ARC-8 combines exceptional strength, reduced weight, and aggressive concavity into a package that looks right at home on both street and track builds. Finished in a rich Anthracite finish, this wheel gives BMW owners the perfect balance of lightweight performance and unmistakable motorsport-inspired styling.
Unlike many lightweight wheels that sacrifice durability for lower weight, the ARC-8 was engineered using extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to optimize strength exactly where it matters most. The result is a wheel capable of handling demanding track conditions while maintaining impressive load ratings that rival or exceed some forged competitors. The deep-concave ARC-8 profile also delivers substantial big brake clearance, making it an excellent choice for performance-focused BMW applications running upgraded brake systems.
