APEX Wheels Wheel model
APEX Wheels ARC-8
The ARC-8 is APEX's iconic wheel and its best-seller for over 15 years. Flow-formed in construction, its muscular design combines low weight and high strength in a clean, sporty style appreciated both on track days and on the road. Originally designed around BMW fitments, it has expanded to other European chassis with a range of widths and offsets that allow good clearance for oversized brake calipers. It's a go-to choice for anyone looking for an affordable, lightweight, and proven first performance wheel without stepping up to the cost of a forged option. In Quebec, its strength and reduced weight make it a versatile three-season option; for winter, a dedicated second set (steel or entry-level alloy) is preferable to avoid the attack of salt and calcium on a performance wheel. Always verify bolt pattern, offset, center bore, and TPMS compatibility before purchase.
