Apex ARC-8 18x9.5 Flow-Formed Wheel 5x120 BP / ET22 / 72.56mm CB - Anthracite (BMW) ARC81895ET22-5120-7256-AN
Race-Inspired Lightweight BMW Wheel Performance
The Apex ARC-8 18x9.5 ET22 Flow-Formed Wheel in Anthracite delivers the perfect blend of lightweight performance, aggressive fitment, and proven durability for BMW enthusiasts. Designed specifically for BMW applications, the ARC-8 enhances steering response, acceleration, and overall chassis dynamics while maintaining the strength required for serious street and track driving.
Featuring a BMW-specific 5x120 bolt pattern and 72.56mm center bore, this wheel offers true hub-centric fitment without the need for centering rings. The Anthracite finish pairs perfectly with the ARC-8s deep-concave spoke profile, creating a clean motorsport-inspired appearance that complements both modern and classic BMW builds.
Advanced Flow-Formed Construction
Apex uses advanced flow-forming technology to produce a wheel that combines lightweight characteristics with exceptional structural strength. During manufacturing, the barrel is stretched and compressed to improve aluminum grain structure, resulting in increased rigidity and durability compared to traditional cast wheels.
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was used to reinforce critical stress areas while removing excess material wherever possible. The result is an exceptionally lightweight wheel that maintains excellent impact resistance and long-term durability.
Engineered for Big Brake Clearance
The ARC-8 was designed with motorsport applications in mind. Its optimized barrel profile and deep-concave spoke layout provide excellent clearance for many aftermarket BMW big brake kits while maintaining aggressive styling and proper fitment geometry.
Oversized lug openings also allow the use of impact sockets and race lug hardware, making wheel swaps faster and easier during track days and competition events.
