The Apex ARC-8 has become a go-to wheel for BMW enthusiasts who demand lightweight performance, proven durability, and timeless motorsport styling. Designed for drivers who push their cars hard on both the street and the track, this 17x9.5 ET35 ARC-8 in Race Silver delivers exceptional strength, aggressive fitment potential, and race-inspired engineering in a lightweight flow-formed package.
Purpose-built for BMW applications with a 5x120 bolt pattern and 72.56mm center bore, this hub-centric wheel provides precise fitment while offering excellent brake clearance and a deep concave profile that enhances both performance and appearance. Apex engineered the ARC-8 to deliver forged-style performance characteristics without the higher cost of a fully forged wheel, making it one of the most trusted options for serious enthusiasts.
Advanced Flow-Formed Engineering
The ARC-8 utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to improve the aluminum barrels grain structure and mechanical properties. This process increases strength and rigidity while allowing Apex engineers to reduce unnecessary material and overall wheel weight.
Using extensive Finite Element Analysis, Apex reinforced critical stress areas while optimizing material placement throughout the wheel structure. The result is a lightweight wheel that delivers responsive handling, improved acceleration characteristics, and dependable durability under aggressive driving conditions.
The ARC-8s deep concave spoke profile creates a bold motorsport appearance while maintaining compatibility with many popular big brake kits. Large lug openings also allow the use of impact sockets and race lug hardware, making fast wheel swaps easy during track events and race weekends.
