The Apex ARC-8 is one of the most recognized and track-proven BMW performance wheels on the market, trusted by enthusiasts who demand lightweight construction, aggressive styling, and real-world durability. This 17x9.5 ET35 ARC-8 in Hyper Silver combines motorsport-inspired engineering with a timeless split-spoke design to deliver serious performance both on the street and at the track.
Built specifically for BMW applications with a 5x120 bolt pattern and 72.56mm center bore, this hub-centric wheel offers exceptional fitment precision while maintaining impressive brake clearance and deep concavity. Thanks to advanced flow-forming technology and extensive engineering optimization, the ARC-8 delivers forged-like performance characteristics without the premium cost of a fully forged wheel.
Construction & Engineering
Apex utilizes advanced flow-forming manufacturing to strengthen the wheel barrel by improving the grain structure and mechanical properties of the aluminum. This process allows material to be strategically reduced where unnecessary while maintaining excellent rigidity and durability under demanding driving conditions.
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was used throughout development to reinforce high-stress areas while minimizing overall weight. The result is a lightweight wheel engineered for enthusiasts who care about faster lap times, sharper handling response, and dependable durability during aggressive driving.
The ARC-8 also features deep concave spokes for an aggressive appearance while maintaining compatibility with many popular BMW big brake kits. Oversized lug openings allow the use of impact sockets and race lug hardware, making wheel changes quick and hassle-free at the track.
