APEX ARC-8 Race Wheels - Our lightest, most affordable flow formed wheel, which is why it's been our best seller for over 10 years. Part of our Classic line, it's a timeless motorsport design engineered to optimize weight and strength.

Features:
The Flow Form Advantage
- Flow forming enables us to create high performance wheels without the price premium of forging. It improves the mechanical properties and grain structure of the barrel, increasing its strength and stiffness, which allows us to use less material and reduce weight. Thanks to our superior engineering, our flow formed wheels have 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-8R or one of our curved spoke wheel designs has you covered.
Maximizing Concavity
- We use the deepest concave face profiles we can for every application after factoring in critical clearances such as brake calipers. The ARC-8 utilizes 2 unique profiles to make this possible, with the deepest concave face delivering reduced weight and a stunningly aggressive appearance.
Weight Optimized
- We conducted extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reinforce high stress areas and to remove material where it didn't improve strength. The end result is a wheel with an ideal balance of strength and weight.
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, center 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 TUV. Many companies falsely claim their wheels have been certified, and even use the VIA stamp without permission. Our Flow Formed wheels have been certified, and we provide the registration numbers for every wheel. Protect yourself.
TPMS
- All APEX wheels accept OEM and aftermarket Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors and standard fit valve stems.
