Apex ARC-8 18x9.5 Flow-Formed Wheel 5x120 BP / ET22 / 72.56mm CB - Hyper Black (BMW) ARC81895ET22-5120-7256-NHBK
Lightweight BMW Wheels Built for Street and Track Performance
The Apex ARC-8 18x9.5 ET22 Flow-Formed Wheel in Hyper Black combines lightweight construction, aggressive fitment, and race-proven durability for BMW enthusiasts who demand serious performance. Designed specifically for BMW applications, the ARC-8 improves steering response, braking feel, and overall handling dynamics while maintaining the strength required for demanding street and track driving.
Featuring a BMW-specific 5x120 bolt pattern and 72.56mm center bore, this wheel delivers true hub-centric fitment without requiring centering rings. The Hyper Black finish enhances the ARC-8s iconic deep-concave spoke profile, creating an aggressive motorsport-inspired appearance that stands out on any BMW platform.
Advanced Flow-Formed Construction Technology
Apex utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to create a wheel that balances low weight with exceptional strength. During manufacturing, the barrel is stretched and compressed to improve aluminum grain structure, resulting in greater rigidity and durability compared to conventional cast wheels.
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was used throughout development to reinforce high-stress areas while eliminating unnecessary material. The result is a lightweight wheel engineered to withstand aggressive driving conditions without compromising structural integrity.
Designed for Big Brake Clearance
The ARC-8 was engineered specifically for performance enthusiasts who require brake clearance and track-ready durability. Its optimized barrel profile and deep-concave spoke layout provide excellent clearance for many aftermarket BMW big brake kits while preserving ideal fitment and spoke strength.
Oversized lug openings also allow the use of impact sockets and race lug hardware, making wheel changes faster and easier during track days and motorsport events.
