With advanced flow-formed construction and extensive structural optimization, the ARC-8 provides exceptional strength and low weight without the premium pricing of a forged wheel.
Engineered for Performance
Apex utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to strengthen the wheel barrel by improving the aluminums grain structure and mechanical properties. This manufacturing process allows material to be strategically reduced while maintaining the rigidity and durability required for demanding performance driving.
The ARC-8 was extensively refined using Finite Element Analysis to reinforce critical stress areas while eliminating unnecessary weight. The result is a wheel that delivers faster steering response, improved acceleration characteristics, and dependable durability during aggressive street driving, autocross, and track use.
Its deep concave spoke profile creates an aggressive motorsport-inspired appearance while also maintaining compatibility with many popular big brake kits. Large lug openings accommodate impact sockets and race lug hardware, making quick wheel changes easier during track events and race weekends.
