If you're looking for a great track wheel, then this is it. The Apex Arc-8 comes in a 17x9 fitment with a ET42 offset. In this 17x9 fitment Apex as able to produce a wheel that comes in at 17.8lbs. Wheels are available in Satin Black, Anthracite, and Race Silver, all of which you can see below:

Apex ARC-8 Benefits:
- Specifically designed for the FRS/BRZ platform
- 17 inch wheels reduce cost of tires for track day
- Clearance for up to 355mm BBK
- Mesh design allows even distribution of load and stress
- Aesthetics aren't compromised to create strength
- JWL tested and VIA certified
- Come with APEX center caps

The ARC-8 wheel is produced using the flow-forming technique. Flow-forming, which is also known as "spin forging" produces a barrel with similar strength to that of a fully forged wheel, which still keeping costs low. This significantly reduces weight in the barrel, which has the greatest impact on rotational mass and performance. By combining the strength of a forged, lightweight barrel and more robust face design, APEX has been able to create a wheel that welcomes endurance racing, hard driving and even potholes.

I am planning on grabbing these up some point this year! Close to Black Friday, or if there is a group buy for this!! You can't lose! They aren't ugly, the are strong and they are affordable.

Specifically designed but dual drilled?

Might have found my wheels!

spidey sense silently screams caution..

they don't even have an "about" page...

and I agree, double fitment to me is a redflag, could be biased, but just how I feel.

also at that price they're no cheaper than RPF1s

I like the 720form wheels a lot more.
