Product Information
APEX FLOW FORMED CLASSIC LINE ARC-8
The APEX ARC-8 is part of the Classic Line of flow formed wheels and stands as one of APEX’s most recognisable and enduring designs. Developed with motorsport principles in mind, the ARC-8 delivers a balance of lightweight construction, durability, and timeless style. Flow forming technology ensures a high-strength, low-weight wheel at a fraction of the cost of forging — making the ARC-8 equally at home on daily-driven BMWs and track-built machines.
ARC-8 HIGHLIGHTS
Engineered for maximum weight savings
Deep concave spokes for select sizes
Open hub centre for fast wheel swaps
Independently tested and certified
Unmatched replacement program
Lifetime structural warranty
ARC-8 FEATURES
THE FLOW FORM ADVANTAGE
Flow forming enables APEX to produce high-performance wheels without the price premium of forging. The process improves the mechanical properties and grain structure of the barrel, increasing both strength and stiffness, which allows for less material use and reduced weight. Through advanced engineering, APEX flow-formed wheels achieve a higher load rating than some competitors’ forged wheels.
BIG BRAKE CLEARANCE
Big brakes often require bigger, heavier, more expensive wheels, which aren’t ideal in a performance environment. The ARC-8 accommodates many big brake kits, even with its classic deep-concave spokes. If you need more clearance, the forged ARC-8RT or one of APEX's curved spoke wheel designs has you covered..
MAXIMISING CONCAVITY
APEX uses the deepest concave face profiles possible for every application after factoring in critical clearances such as brake calipers. The ARC-8 utilises two unique profiles to achieve this, with the deepest concave face delivering reduced weight and a stunningly aggressive appearance.
WEIGHT OPTIMISED
APEX conducted extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reinforce high-stress areas and remove any extra material where it did not improve strength. The result is a wheel that is exceptionally light without the strength compromises typically found on lightweight wheels.
BUILT FOR IMPACT SOCKETS
Track wheels need track tools. 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.
32mm socket diameter clearance.
FINISHING TOUCHES
The ARC-8 is finished using a multi-stage liquid paint over a powder-coated base coat. This coating process leaves lug holes, centre bores and mounting pads untouched, which ensures proper fit and torque values.
JWL AND BEYOND
All APEX Flow Formed wheels meet or meaningfully exceed JWL load rating requirements. Some manufacturers don't meet the minimum requirements, yet still claim to be compliant. Always compare load ratings to ensure you aren’t sacrificing critical strength for a slightly lighter wheel.
TRUE VIA
The VIA is an independent wheel testing and auditing agency similar to TÜV. Many companies falsely claim their wheels have been certified and even use the VIA stamp without permission. APEX flow formed wheels have been certified, and the company provides the registration numbers for every wheel. Customers should protect themselves and demand registration numbers from manufacturers.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
HUB CENTRIC
All ARC-8 wheels are purpose built for select vehicle applications. Very few applications require locating rings.
CENTRE CAPS
All APEX wheels come with a gloss black cap included that is interchangeable with the OE cap. APEX also offers additional colours for select fitments.
WHEEL HARDWARE
APEX wheels can be used with all OEM mounting hardware, proper aftermarket hardware and most wheel spacers. Wheel locks and stud conversion kits also work perfectly.
TPMS
All APEX wheels are compatible with both OEM and aftermarket Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS), as well as standard-fit valve stems.
