Apex ARC-8 18x9.5 Flow-Formed Wheel 5x120 BP / ET35 / 72.56mm CB - Hyper Silver (BMW) ARC81895ET35-5120-7256-HS
Classic BMW Motorsport Styling with Lightweight Performance
The Apex ARC-8 18x9.5 ET35 Flow-Formed Wheel in Hyper Silver combines lightweight performance engineering, aggressive concavity, and race-proven durability for BMW enthusiasts who demand maximum performance both on the street and at the track. Designed specifically for BMW applications with a 72.56mm center bore, this wheel delivers true hub-centric fitment without requiring centering rings.
Finished in a premium Hyper Silver coating, the ARC-8 delivers timeless BMW motorsport styling while reducing rotational mass for sharper steering response, improved braking feel, and better overall chassis dynamics.
Advanced Flow-Formed Construction
Apex utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to improve the wheel barrels grain structure and mechanical properties, increasing strength and stiffness while minimizing overall weight. This process creates a stronger and lighter wheel compared to conventional cast designs without the premium price associated with fully forged wheels.
Using extensive Finite Element Analysis, Apex strategically reinforces high-stress areas while removing unnecessary material wherever possible. The result is a wheel engineered to withstand demanding performance driving without sacrificing lightweight responsiveness.
Big Brake Clearance and Aggressive Concavity
The ARC-8 was engineered to provide excellent compatibility with many popular aftermarket BMW big brake kits while maintaining its iconic deep-concave spoke design. Apex optimized spoke geometry and barrel dimensions to maximize brake clearance while preserving aggressive fitment and reduced weight.
Oversized lug openings also allow the use of race hardware and impact sockets, making wheel swaps quicker and easier during track days and motorsport events.
