Hey guys!

I'm happy to say that Apex Race Parts has released their famous ARC-8 wheel in a 5x100 fitment that works for the FRS beautifully!

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 hope that helps all you track fiends out there! Feel free to ask any questions!

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.

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.
