Apex ARC-8 18x9.5 Flow-Formed Wheel 5x120 BP / ET35 / 72.56mm CB - Hyper Black (BMW) ARC81895ET35-5120-7256-NHBK
Lightweight BMW Performance Wheel with Aggressive Hyper Black Finish
The Apex ARC-8 18x9.5 ET35 Flow-Formed Wheel in Hyper Black delivers race-inspired performance, lightweight construction, and timeless BMW motorsport styling for enthusiasts who demand both strength and reduced weight. Engineered specifically for BMW fitment with a precise 72.56mm center bore, the ARC-8 provides true hub-centric installation without the need for centering rings.
Finished in an aggressive Hyper Black coating, this ARC-8 wheel combines premium styling with track-ready engineering, making it an ideal upgrade for street-driven performance cars, autocross builds, and dedicated track machines.
Advanced Flow-Formed Engineering
Using advanced flow-forming technology, Apex strengthens the wheel barrel by improving the aluminum grain structure and mechanical properties during manufacturing. This process creates a wheel with enhanced stiffness and durability while reducing unnecessary weight compared to traditional cast wheels.
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was used throughout development to reinforce high-stress areas and remove excess material wherever possible. The result is a lightweight wheel engineered to withstand demanding driving conditions without sacrificing reliability.
Optimized for Brake Clearance and Concavity
The ARC-8 was specifically designed to clear many popular aftermarket BMW big brake kits while maintaining its signature deep-concave spoke profile. Apex carefully optimized spoke geometry and barrel dimensions to maximize brake clearance while preserving aggressive styling and reduced rotational mass.
Oversized lug openings accommodate impact sockets and race hardware, making wheel swaps faster and easier during track events or routine maintenance.
