Apex ARC-8 18x9.5 Flow-Formed Wheel 5x120 BP / ET35 / 72.56mm CB - Satin Bronze (BMW) ARC81895ET35-5120-7256-SBZ
Lightweight BMW Performance Wheel with Satin Bronze Finish
The Apex ARC-8 18x9.5 ET35 Flow-Formed Wheel in Satin Bronze combines lightweight motorsport engineering, aggressive concavity, and race-proven durability for BMW enthusiasts seeking maximum performance and standout styling. Designed specifically for BMW applications with a precise 72.56mm center bore, this wheel delivers true hub-centric fitment without requiring centering rings.
Finished in a rich Satin Bronze coating, the ARC-8 delivers a bold motorsport-inspired appearance while reducing unsprung weight for sharper steering response, improved handling balance, and enhanced braking feel both on the street and at the track.
Advanced Flow-Formed Construction
Apex utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to strengthen the wheel barrel by improving the aluminum grain structure and mechanical properties during manufacturing. This process increases stiffness and durability while reducing overall wheel weight compared to traditional cast wheels.
Extensive Finite Element Analysis was used throughout development to reinforce critical stress points while removing excess material wherever possible. The result is a lightweight wheel engineered to handle demanding driving conditions without sacrificing structural integrity.
Engineered for Brake Clearance and Aggressive Concavity
The ARC-8 was specifically engineered to clear many popular aftermarket BMW big brake kits while maintaining its signature deep-concave spoke profile. Apex optimized the spoke geometry and barrel dimensions to maximize brake clearance while preserving aggressive styling and lightweight performance.
Oversized lug openings accommodate impact sockets and race hardware, making wheel changes faster and easier during track events and routine maintenance.
