Based on Apex’s first ever design that captivated the hearts of BMW drivers across the globe. As the second forged iteration, the ARC-8RT features improved strength, stiffness and weights compared to its flow formed counterpart, while still staying true to the original wheel’s timeless design.

Wheel stiffness matters but it gets overlooked and undiscussed. Our engineers were able to redesign the ARC-8RT with thinner, yet deeper spokes than their flow formed counterparts while still retaining the brake clearance Apex customers expect. The result is a lighter, yet stiffer spoke design.

The ARC-8RT borrows the race-proven Sprint Spec inner lip from our Sprint Line wheels, providing critical strength to the unsupported inner lip of the wheel. Adding 32% more material where it matters most. Don’t settle for under-engineered wheels, attack both the track and your cities potholes with confidence.

From day one, Apex has been on a mission to build wheels that clear big brakes. We utilize 3D scans to produce vehicle-specific spoke profiles, and our wheels feature an innovative high-clearance barrel design.

Don’t settle for wheels that require undersized tuner lugs or thin walled sockets. All Apex wheels accommodate over-sized race lugs and impact sockets to make swapping wheels lightning fast.

Love that OEM+ look? Us too. Our engineers went the extra mile and incorporated OEM center cap support into the ARC-8RT. Whether you want to show off your included Apex center caps or stick with the infamous roundel, the ARC-8RT will seamlessly accept both.

As car enthusiasts ourselves, we know how frustrating it is to locate and decipher wheel specs that have been hastily marked on a wheel or become unreadable over time. Our Touring Line wheels have laser-engraved specs on the barrel, in plain sight, making them easy to find and read.
