Purchase APEX - Wheel Package 17x9" ARC-8

Our most popular E36 track wheel package, also a perfect match for your high-performance street car!

Produced specifically for maximum grip, great looks and a price you can afford for your 3-series chassis. This ARC-8 package combines classic mesh styling, the best fitment available for even the most aggressive tires, and a tremendous value for you; the uncompromising BMW enthusiast.
Not just a handsome, direct fit wheel; these wheel are superlight-weight while only costing as much a most cast wheels do.
Durable enough for the rigors of daily transportation, or the punishment of the track. We use these wheels on our own E36 race cars!

Apex achieves light weight and high strength by Flow-Form (aka Roll Forging) their wheels and creating BMW application specific designs. Each application is specifically JIL and VIA laboratory tested in each size, width and bolt pattern for maximum safety; while others only pass a far less rigorous universal test, despite claiming these certifications...

Comprised of (4) 17x9" APEX ARC-8 Wheels and one front 10mm Spacer set this is a fantastic square setup for the desired absolute neutral handling with tremendous forward, braking, and lateral grip. Great on the street or track. A great feature is that these square (all 4 same width) not only balances the chassis when cornering and braking, but lets you rotate tires so you get the absolute most tire life out of expensive rubber!

Fitment tech tips: An ideal 10mm spacer may be required for extra wide r-compound setups or some 255 width high performance summer tires on the E36 and Z3 on the front. We include this in the package!
Many street tires fit without rubbing, however, we do recommend running this spacer regardless for improved handling.
Keep in mind; suspension components, camber, ride height, and tire size all effect fitment. It's common for E36 owners to roll their rear fenders when running a very wide meaty tire on a wheel wider than 8.5" in the rear.
A recommended direct fit tire size on the smaller size for the E36 and Z3 are 245/40/17 with the other recommended size being 255/40/17 for all models
