Lightweight Flow-Formed Construction
Apex utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to strengthen the wheel barrel by enhancing the aluminums grain structure and mechanical properties. This manufacturing process increases rigidity and impact resistance while allowing unnecessary material to be removed for reduced overall weight.
Using extensive Finite Element Analysis, Apex optimized the ARC-8 to reinforce critical stress areas while minimizing excess mass throughout the wheel structure. The result is sharper steering response, improved acceleration feel, and dependable durability under demanding street and track conditions.
The ARC-8s deep concave spoke profile delivers aggressive BMW styling while maintaining compatibility with many popular aftermarket big brake kits. Oversized lug openings also accommodate impact sockets and race lug hardware, making wheel changes quick and convenient during track events and race weekends.
