Race-Inspired Lightweight Wheels for BMW E39 Applications
The Apex ARC-8 E39 18x9.5 ET22 Flow-Formed Wheel in Racing Silver combines lightweight performance, aggressive fitment, and motorsport durability specifically engineered for BMW E39 enthusiasts. Designed with the correct 74.1mm center bore for E39 chassis applications, this wheel delivers true hub-centric fitment without requiring centering rings.
The ARC-8 remains one of the most respected BMW performance wheel designs thanks to its proven track capability, lightweight engineering, and timeless motorsport styling. Finished in Racing Silver, this wheel offers a clean OEM-plus appearance while enhancing handling, braking response, and overall driving dynamics.
Advanced Flow-Formed Construction
Apex utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to create wheels that provide exceptional strength while reducing unnecessary weight. During manufacturing, the barrel is stretched and compressed to improve the aluminum grain structure, resulting in increased rigidity and impact resistance compared to traditional cast wheels.
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was performed throughout development to reinforce high-stress areas while eliminating excess material wherever possible. The result is a lightweight wheel engineered for demanding street driving and track use alike.
Designed for Big Brake Clearance
The ARC-8 was engineered with brake clearance as a top priority. Its optimized barrel profile and deep-concave spokes provide excellent compatibility with many aftermarket BMW big brake kits while maintaining reduced rotational mass and aggressive fitment.
Oversized lug openings accommodate impact sockets and race hardware, allowing for quicker and easier wheel swaps during track days and motorsport events.
