Modern Performance, Classic Design

Based on Apexs 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 wheels timeless design.

Stiffer Spokes

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.

Sprint Inner Lip

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. Dont settle for under-engineered wheels, attack both the track and your cities potholes with confidence.

10K Tons of Pressure

To make our forged wheels the strongest we can, we applied as much pressure as possible using a 10,000 ton forge. This extreme pressure increases the strength of the aluminum by eliminating porosity and improving the grain structure.

True Motorsport Blanks

Many companies use 3rd-party blanks intended for non-motorsport wheels which can severely limit sizes, concavity, spoke design, and critical brake clearance. We designed our very own blank profiles from scratch to give us total control over the final product.

Independently Tested

We don't rely solely on computer simulations or unverifiable in-house testing. We believe independent testing is critical to protect consumers in this unregulated industry. Our Touring Line wheels are independently tested by ITS at their Michigan facility following JWL standards but pushed to much higher loads and much longer durations.

Big Brake Clearance

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.

Deeper Concavity

Our new forgings enable us to use an extra deep profile 4 face when possible. Our forging blanks allow us to make any profile, from flat to deep and everything in between, each optimized for a specific application using 3D laser scans of factory and aftermarket brake kits.

Built for Impact Sockets

Dont 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.

OEM Center Cap Compatibility

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.

Laser-Engraved Specs

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.
