Overview

The Apex ARC-8 is a 17x8.5 inch wheel designed for performance and style. It is constructed from light alloy using a flow-forming process, making it stronger and lighter than traditional cast wheels. The design allows for generous clearance for large brake systems.
Show original supplier description
The Apex ARC-8 is a 17x8.5 inch, ET40 offset wheel, weighing just 17.2 lbs. It is crafted from light alloy using an advanced flow-forming manufacturing process. This technique creates a wheel that is significantly stronger and lighter than standard cast wheels, with approximately a 10 lb weight reduction per wheel compared to a comparable factory option. This reduction in unsprung weight directly contributes to improved vehicle performance across all driving aspects. Engineered with motorsport themes in mind, the ARC-8 features a muscular yet stylish design that complements BMW aesthetics. The flat profile contributes to its aggressive stance and appearance. This wheel utilizes the BMW standard 5x120 bolt pattern and a 72.6mm center bore, making it a direct fit for most 3-Series (E36, E46, E90, E92, F30), Z3, and Z4-series BMWs. Original BMW center caps, TPMS sensors, and lug bolts can typically be reused (though lug bolt compatibility may vary with spacers). Apex offers the ARC-8 in various diameter, width, and offset combinations to suit diverse fitment needs. For street applications, a staggered setup (wider rear wheels) is often recommended, while a square setup (identical front and rear widths) is preferred for track and racing use. Careful consideration of wheel width, offset, and tire size is crucial to avoid rubbing on suspension components or bodywork, and adjustments like wheel spacers or fender modifications may be necessary.
