Overview
BMW E90 E92 E93 M3 Wheel Performance
The stock E9X M3 wheel size greatly limits the tire size you can run on the car. You can easily improve the performance of your M3 by getting a wider tire. We created E9X forged wheels such as the Apex VS-5RS, SM-10RS, EC-7RS and flow-formed wheels such as the ARC-8, EC-7, SM-10 and FL-5 to allow wider tires thus improving the mechanical grip. Luckily for owners looking to improve performance, the E9X is capable of swallowing up even more tire versus the outgoing E46. We’ve removed the guesswork of test fitting and assembled a detailed fitment guide that outlines the best E90 E92 E93 M3 wheels available.

About the E90 E92 E93 M3
Dubbed the E9X M3 by enthusiasts, this fourth generation is split into three unique body styles; the E90 M3 sedan, E92 M3 coupe, and the E93 M3 hardtop convertible. Well into the height of the horsepower wars brought on by the famed Mercedes E55 AMG, for the first and only time, the engineers in Bavaria shoe-horned a V8 engine into the 3 series platform. Named the S65, this glorious V8 was based on the F1 derived V10, powering the E60 M5 and E63 M6. With two cylinders removed, and an all aluminum block, the end result was an engine even lighter and more compact than the S54 inline six, powering the E46 generation.
Following the new M car design language, the E9X M3 received wide fender flares, more aggressive front and rear bumpers, quad exhaust tips, and fender vents to relieve pressure in the engine bay.
E90 E92 E93 M3 Performance on Track
The engine. The balance. The sound. Enough said, this car is just legendary. If you’re a devout BMW fan, you’ll already know why those in love with this generation of M3 are more than happy to put up with tight rod bearing clearances, a massive thirst for premium unleaded, and practically disposable throttle actuators. Address those few reliability issues and you’re left with a car capable of setting blistering lap times with more satisfaction than any (faster) V8 powered American muscle car can provide. For those obsessed solely with lap times, the optional 7 speed DCT transmission has proved reliable and offers lightning fast up shifts and perfectly rev-matched downshifts.
If you’re still not sold, don’t just take it from us. Hear what the editors at Road and Track magazine have to say, after their track test in the article The BMW E92 M3 sounds like Screaming Thunder.
Depending on the style of driving you’re looking for, the E9X M platform can rock a wide square fitment for the road course, or a staggered setup made for putting power down. Our wide selection of E9X M3 wheels provides you with the perfect specs needed for any build. Our e90 e92 e93 M3 wheels don’t just perform, they also look the part.

Which Wheels Should I Get?
Check out our Fitment Guides, the most in-depth, authoritative guides for wheel and tire fitments, tailored for your vehicle and how you drive it.
ARC-8 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 result is a wheel that is exceptionally light without the strength compromises found on typical lightweight wheels.²
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, 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 TÜV. 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. Demand registration numbers from manufacturers.
Additional features
Hub Centric
All ARC-8 wheels are purpose built for select vehicle applications. Very few applications require centering rings.
Center Caps
All APEX wheels come with our gloss black cap included that is interchangeable with the OE cap. We also offer additional colors 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 accept OEM and aftermarket Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors and standard fit valve stems. If you don’t have sensors, then select from our metal stems available in multiple finishes.
Accessories
REAL DRIVERS NEED REAL PERFORMANCE.
Not all claims of performance are backed up by facts—and it's a big problem. Don't get sold fashion when you want function.
A Wheel You Can Depend On
Accidental damage replacement
Curb rash or pothole damage on the street? Make an oopsie at the track? We’ve all been there. APEX is proud to offer 50% off replacement wheels, no matter the damage.
Lifetime warranty
All APEX wheels come with a lifetime structural warranty against defects in workmanship and materials, plus a 1 year finish warranty. Exchanges are fast, easy, and hassle-free.
