Whether your BMW is built for road racing, autocross, drift events, canyon carving, or high-performance street driving, the ARC-8 delivers lightweight durability and proven performance without the premium cost associated with forged wheels.
Advanced Flow-Formed Construction
Apex utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to strengthen the aluminum barrel while reducing unnecessary material throughout the wheel. This process improves grain structure, rigidity, and impact resistance while keeping weight low for improved acceleration, braking response, and steering feel.
Using extensive Finite Element Analysis, Apex strategically reinforced critical stress areas while optimizing material placement throughout the wheel structure. The result is an exceptionally lightweight wheel engineered to withstand demanding street and track conditions without sacrificing strength.
Its deep concave ARC-8 spoke profile delivers an aggressive motorsport appearance while providing impressive clearance for many popular BMW big brake kits. Oversized lug openings accommodate impact sockets and race hardware, making wheel changes quick and efficient during track days and race weekends.
