BMW F82 M4 With ARC-8R Forged Wheels

Our friend Daniel (@dsc_lol ) stopped by the shop with his Yas Marina Blue F82 M4 track car to test fit our new 18″ ARC-8R forged wheels in new premium Brushed Clear finish. Our new forged version clears the massive aftermarket Brembo 380mm brake kit where our flow-formed ARC-8 could not. We also designed the ARC-8R to be significantly stronger than our flow-formed line with a higher load rating of 1,800 lbs to better handle cornering abuse from sticky tires, downforce, and heavier cars.

Wheel Setup

– 18×10″ ET25 ARC-8R Forged Wheels in Brushed Clear – 275/35-18 Toyo Proxes R888R Tires – 5mm front spacer (for KW suspension clearance)

Modifications

– Brembo 380mm BBK – TC Design Custom Roll Cage – Recaro Seats – CAE Shifter – KW Suspension – VR Speed Factory Downpipes – VF Engineering Stage 2 Hex Tune – APEX Stud Kit
