Apex ARC-8 E39 18x9.5 Flow-Formed Wheel 5x120 BP / ET22 / 74.1mm CB - Anthracite (BMW) ARC81895ET22-5120-741-AN
Track-Proven Lightweight Performance for BMW E39 Applications
The Apex ARC-8 E39 18x9.5 ET22 Flow-Formed Wheel in Anthracite is engineered specifically for BMW enthusiasts seeking lightweight performance, aggressive fitment, and motorsport durability. Designed around the unique 74.1mm center bore required for E39 chassis applications, this ARC-8 delivers true hub-centric fitment without the need for centering rings.
Combining race-inspired engineering with timeless motorsport styling, the ARC-8 remains one of the most trusted wheel designs for BMW street cars, autocross builds, and dedicated track machines. The Anthracite finish gives the wheel a clean, aggressive appearance that pairs perfectly with classic and modern BMW styling alike.
Advanced Flow-Formed Construction
Apex uses advanced flow-forming technology to increase barrel strength while reducing unnecessary weight. This manufacturing process improves the aluminum grain structure, producing a wheel with greater rigidity and impact resistance compared to traditional cast wheels.
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was utilized throughout development to reinforce high-stress areas and remove excess material wherever possible. The result is an exceptionally lightweight wheel that maintains the strength needed for aggressive street driving and track use.
Built for Big Brake Clearance
The ARC-8 was designed with brake clearance as a top priority. Its deep-concave spoke design and optimized barrel profile provide excellent compatibility with many aftermarket BMW big brake kits while maintaining reduced rotational weight and proper fitment.
Oversized lug openings accommodate impact sockets and race hardware, making wheel swaps faster and easier during track days and competition events.
