Apex ARC-8RT 19x9 Fully Forged Touring Wheel 5x120 BP / ET30 / 72.56mm CB - Satin Black (BMW) (ARC8RT199ET30-5120-7256-NSBK)
The Apex ARC-8RT takes one of the most recognizable BMW wheel designs ever created and reengineers it with fully forged construction, improved rigidity, and race-proven durability. Finished in Satin Black, this 19x9 ET30 wheel delivers lightweight performance, aggressive styling, and exceptional strength for enthusiasts building serious BMW street and track setups.
Developed as part of Apexs Forged Touring Line, the ARC-8RT advances the legendary ARC-8 platform with fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum construction, reinforced impact protection, and advanced brake clearance engineering. Manufactured under an immense 10,000 ton forging process, the ARC-8RT achieves remarkable strength-to-weight performance while preserving the timeless split-spoke styling and OEM+ fitment BMW enthusiasts expect.
Modern Forged Engineering with Classic BMW Styling
The ARC-8RT features thinner yet deeper spokes engineered to improve wheel stiffness while minimizing unnecessary rotational weight. This advanced spoke profile improves steering response, suspension feedback, braking feel, and cornering stability while still maintaining the brake clearance required for high-performance BMW applications.
To improve durability under real-world driving and track abuse, Apex integrated its proven Sprint Spec reinforced inner lip into the ARC-8RT design. By strengthening one of the wheels most vulnerable impact zones, the ARC-8RT offers increased resistance against potholes, curb strikes, rough pavement, and repeated high-load driving conditions without compromising lightweight forged performance.
