These wheels accept the OEM BMW Roundel Centercaps, part number: 36 13 1 095 361.  Wheels come with APEX centercaps.

The new 18x9.5" 1 series specific version of the ARC-8 wheel is in production due to popular demand.  This wheel was spec'ed to work exclusively on the rear of the 1 series.  You may have seen these wheels discussed on bimmerforums, 1addicts, and other forums.  This is the only wheel on the market with the correct offset for the rear, allowing you to run wide tires without raising your car, or stretching tires.

This 9.5" wheel has been tested to fit with a 275/35/18 Nitto NT-01 (r-compound tire) without and rubbing on stock height and lowered vehicles.  No fender modification is required.

This wheel is intended to be used with our 18x8.5" ARC-8 wheel.  Our 18x8.5" wheel is an aggressive front fitment for the 1 series, as it was intended to be used with a 255/35/18 to complement the wide rear setup.  Negative camber is a must to fit anything larger then a 225/40/18 onto the front of the 1 series when using the 18x8.5 wheel.  We highly recommend the purchase of 1 series specific Vorshlag Camber plates.

Most customers will elect to mount a tire that is wider then what the factory recommends.  Only stock tire sizes can be guaranteed to fit, but certain over sized tires can fit without issue.  Suspension components, camber settings, ride height, and tire size all effect fitment.  Please browse online forums or contact us for fitment advice.

Warranty Summary:    2 year Structural warranty. 1 year limited warranty guarantees wheels will be free from defects in materials, workmanship and paint finish under normal and reasonable use.

Nothing Compares
After fitting these wheels I have been grinning from ear to ear. The sheer lightness of these wheels to stock and even my now replaced Kyowas are amazing. The acceleration, braking, and handling aspects of my car have been vastly improved and I am already running Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs and BMW Performance rotors (front and rear). On top of the weight savings and good lucks I am now getting 6-8 miles per gallon over my previous setup and the engine seems to rev more freely.

perfect fitment for the rears!
I stuffed a 275/35/18 wide running direzza star spec and the fit is perfect. I am running eibach springs as well and no rubbing. This is the wheel for lots of rubber out back!
