APEX Forged ARC-8RT Wheel
Fully forged ARC-8RT — the premium track-developed variant of APEX’s ARC-8 platform, offering a significant weight reduction over the flow-formed version for builds where unsprung mass savings translate directly to lap times.
Brand: APEX Wheels
Construction: Forged 1-piece
Material: 6061-T6 forged aluminum
Design: 8-spoke, motorsport, forged
Note: Priced per wheel.
Description:
RT stands for Race Track — APEX’s designation for fully forged one-piece wheels developed explicitly for circuit use. The ARC-8RT starts from a 6061-T6 forged billet rather than a cast preform, giving the entire wheel a grain structure improvement rather than just the barrel section of the flow-formed ARC-8. For track-day regulars where unsprung mass reduction has a measurable effect on steering response and corner exit acceleration, the weight delta between the RT and the flow-formed ARC-8 justifies the price premium. APEX backs both with the same motorsport load certifications.
Features:
• Fully Forged 6061-T6: Entire wheel benefits from forged grain structure, not just the barrel section.
• Significant Weight Reduction: Lower unsprung mass versus the flow-formed ARC-8 for measurable handling improvements on circuit.
• RT (Race Track) Specification: APEX’s designation for wheels developed specifically for circuit conditions.
• Motorsport Load Ratings: SAE J2530 and TUV/JWL certified for track use.
For circuit drivers where every gram of unsprung mass reduction has a quantifiable effect on lap time.
