This 18x9.5 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 demanding driving applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ARC-8 achieves a weight of 19.6 lbs in the 18x9.5 configuration, delivering measurable unsprung weight reduction compared to factory BMW wheels. This weight savings translates directly to improved acceleration response, enhanced braking performance, and more precise suspension dynamics under both street and track conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wheel utilizes flow formed construction, a manufacturing process that combines the benefits of cast and forged methods while maintaining cost effectiveness. The flow forming process involves spinning the cast wheel blank while applying controlled 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 process allows for thinner barrel walls without compromising structural integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ARC-8 features Profile 3 face design, providing the distinctive spoke geometry and brake clearance characteristics specific to this configuration. The 60-degree conical hardware seat ensures proper lug nut engagement and secure mounting torque distribution. The 74.1mm center bore provides hub-centric fitment for BMW applications, eliminating wheel vibration and ensuring proper load distribution through the hub assembly. The ET22 offset positions the wheel face appropriately for aggressive stance while maintaining suspension geometry compatibility.\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: 19.6 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: ARC81895ET22-5120-741-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;\"\u003e9.5\"\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;\"\u003e74.1mm\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;\"\u003e19.6 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"APEX Wheels","offers":[{"title":"Anthracite","offer_id":47665189912727,"sku":"ARC81895ET22-5120-741-AN","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hyper Silver","offer_id":47665189945495,"sku":"ARC81895ET22-5120-741-HS","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hyper Black","offer_id":47665189978263,"sku":"ARC81895ET22-5120-741-NHBK","price":409.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Race Silver","offer_id":47665190011031,"sku":"ARC81895ET22-5120-741-RS","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2641\/0682\/files\/b169146e63698462bd43ad78d9937d402b6a32cd-2000x2000_dcc2f3f6-3d69-4ed2-8cc0-1b31d63c4f3f.png?v=1776190980","url":"https:\/\/autotalent.com\/products\/apex-wheels-arc-8-flow-formed-wheel-18x9-5-et22-5x120","provider":"AutoTalent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
