This 18x10.5 ET22 wheel addresses the need for aggressive fitment and lightweight performance while maintaining structural integrity through APEX's flow formed construction process, which stretches and compresses the aluminum to optimize strength-to-weight ratios for high-performance applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ARC-8 achieves a weight of just 21.4 lbs in the 18x10.5 configuration, delivering significant unsprung weight reduction compared to factory BMW wheels. This weight savings translates directly to improved acceleration, braking performance, and suspension response, particularly beneficial for track-focused builds requiring wide tire coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wheel utilizes flow formed construction, a manufacturing process that combines the benefits of cast and forged methods. The flow forming process involves spinning the cast wheel blank while applying pressure to stretch and compress the aluminum barrel, creating a denser grain structure that increases strength while reducing weight compared to traditional cast wheels. This construction method allows APEX to achieve forged-like performance characteristics at a more accessible price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ARC-8 features Profile 3 face design, providing the deeper concave geometry that accommodates the wider 10.5-inch width. The 60-degree conical hardware seat ensures proper lug nut engagement and secure mounting under aggressive driving conditions. The 72.56mm center bore provides hub-centric fitment for BMW applications, eliminating vibration and ensuring proper load distribution. The ET22 offset positions the wheel face closer to the fender, creating the aggressive stance preferred by performance enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wheel serves BMW owners seeking serious performance upgrades with proper engineering validation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: BMW vehicles with 5x120 bolt pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Flow formed aluminum construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 21.4 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace Profile: Profile 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Seat: 60 Degree Conical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable Finishes: Anthracite, Hyper Silver, Hyper Black, Race Silver, Satin Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: ARC818105ET22-5120-7256-AN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWheel Specifications:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable class=\"custable\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;font-size:90%;width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#03589c;height:21.875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:10%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIAMETER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:10%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWIDTH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:10%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOFFSET\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOLT PATTERN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCENTER BORE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:14%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONSTRUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFACE PROFILE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE SEAT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:8%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#e8f4f8;height:32px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e18\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e10.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eET22\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e5x120mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e72.56mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eFlow Formed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eProfile 3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e60 Degree Conical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e21.4 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"APEX Wheels","offers":[{"title":"Anthracite","offer_id":47665181917335,"sku":"ARC818105ET22-5120-7256-AN","price":419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hyper Silver","offer_id":47665181950103,"sku":"ARC818105ET22-5120-7256-HS","price":419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hyper Black","offer_id":47665181982871,"sku":"ARC818105ET22-5120-7256-NHBK","price":429.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Race Silver","offer_id":47665182015639,"sku":"ARC818105ET22-5120-7256-RS","price":419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":47665182048407,"sku":"ARC818105ET22-5120-7256-SMBK","price":419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2641\/0682\/files\/b169146e63698462bd43ad78d9937d402b6a32cd-2000x2000.png?v=1776190504","url":"https:\/\/autotalent.com\/products\/apex-wheels-arc-8-flow-formed-wheel-18x10-5-et22-5x120","provider":"AutoTalent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
