Everyone loves the deep concave face of the APEX ARC-8 wheel line, but not everyone is willing to squeeze overly wide wheels and tires under their car’s fenders just to get that look.

Introducing our newest ARC-8 fitment: the 18×9.0” ET30. Now you can run a wheel width and offset that retains all of the concavity of your favorite wheels without having to run camber plates, roll/flare fenders, or deal with any rubbing. These are perfect for E46 and E9X Non-M owners.

If you’ve looked at our popular EC-7 18×9” ET31 wheels and wished that size was available in the ARC-8 design, then this is the fitment for you. The first production run of this new wheel is being offered via a Group Buy. This allows us to fine-tune our production runs while offering you a potentially steep discount on a set of ARC-8 wheels!

To participate in this Group Buy, you can either buy a pair of the new wheels on their own (2 wheels total) or you can choose a pair of our existing 18” ARC-8 wheels to compliment a pair of the new 18×9.0” ET30 ARC-8 (4 wheels total).
