► APEX 17” ARC-8 BMW Track Wheel Group Buy - Save up to $200 plus free shipping



APEX 17” ARC-8 BMW Track Wheel Group Buy

Save up to $200 plus free shipping within the Continental U.S.

New Track Wheels With Offsets Specifically Optimized for the E82 1 Series

The E82 1 Series is a fantastic platform that, because of its affordability, has quickly become a popular BMW to take to the track. As with many BMWs, the stock 1 Series is plagued by understeer. To combat that notorious BMW understeer, enthusiasts would traditionally install wider tires upfront as part of a square wheel/tire fitment. Rotatable, square setups are the go-to setup for most BMWs that see serious track use, so it would make sense to do the same with the 1 Series, but there’s a problem: the 1 Series is at a huge disadvantage over other popular chassis such as the E36 and E46 because of unusually tight clearances up front, as well as the significantly higher offsets the chassis requires. APEX decided to fix that by creating the ideal 1 Series track wheel fitment.

For more information about this fitment, check out our article.

Unfortunately Silver is not an option for this initial release. When we release a new fitment for a niche application like the 1 series, we have to be selective with our finish offering as each carries a minimum production requirement.

We reviewed stats from our 18" ARC-8s for the 1 series, and the two most popular finishes over the years are Anthracite and Satin Black. These are also great finishes for track use as they do a better job hiding brake dust. That being said, if the demand is relatively strong for this fitment we may be able to add Silver in a future production.

Was also hoping for silver. My car is Space Grey and the 2 offered options wouldn't really pop. Agree about the brake dust, but personally my car is a street car 1st.

The ARC-8 17×9” ET52 was designed to easily clear the massive 6-piston OEM Brembo BMW Performance caliper found standard on the 135i, as well as a variety of aftermarket BBK options.

When designing this fitment one of our main priorities was ensuring good tire availability in the needed sizes. We took the liberty of listing notable tire options from relevant tire categories and highlighted some of our favorites in our technical article linked below:

With 5 days left, we are at 21 pledges, only 4 away from the Max discount! If you're listed as interested, be sure to get your pledge in before the deal closes. Finish options and inventory are limited for this production run so be sure to pledge early to ensure the finish you are after doesn't sell out!

The Group-buy ends tonight at 11:59 PM!


Time is almost up to save $200 off + free shipping* on a set of 17” ARC-8s developed with your 1 series in mind. This deal officially ends tonight at midnight (Pacific), and we will not be able to accept any new pledges once the deal closes! This is the best deal we will ever offer on these wheels, so be sure to submit your pledge before this deal is gone.

We don’t want to beat a dead horse, but as a final reminder, showing interest alone does not mean you are part of this deal. You must come back and submit an official pledge to guarantee your order.
