Philosophy/Design
We haven't reinvented the wheel: The AC Schnitzer Type IV wheel generation. These sporty, elegant 5-spoke rims have been crafted with exceptional finesse. The individual spokes, which radiate outward from the rim centre in a pentagon shape, appear almost graceful. A triangular recess has been set into each spoke towards the rim flange, both reminiscent of their predecessor, the Type III, and adding a visual highlight. The surface finish of the Type IV rims is not only impressive due to their brilliant paint finish, it also provides optimal protection against environmental influences. Furthermore, the Type IV rims are particularly easy to care for. Even stubborn dirt and brake dust don't stand a chance with regular care. It's not necessary to use special rim cleaners. - Light alloy wheel in an elegant yet sporty design - Weight-optimised, cast light alloy wheels - In two-tone - Open design that allows a clear view of the axle and brakes - Hub cap in classic, pentagonal shape - Incorporated original AC Schnitzer logo - The wheel is protected against corrosion with a high-quality clear coat, thus guaranteeing a long service life

material
Only high-quality aluminium alloys with the AlSi7 or AlSi11 specifications are used. Both materials undergo additional heat treatment during production, resulting in increased strength while simultaneously reducing weight. Material samples taken during the manufacturing process ensure consistent, high-quality material.

production
Steps on the Road to Perfection: A high-quality cast blank is essential for a perfect and long-lasting wheel. AC Schnitzer uses the low-pressure casting process to produce it. The aluminium alloy is pressed into a multi-part casting Mold at a pressure of up to 1.2 bar. After cooling to approximately 400 degrees Celsius, the Mold is opened, and the cast blank is ready for further processing. This involves machining and a complex painting process. X-ray inspections, leak tests, and the application of various measuring methods throughout the entire production process ensure the consistent, high quality of the wheel.

Bicolour surface
In this process, the wheel is first primed and then completely painted. The surfaces that will later have a metallic gloss are then machined. Finally, a two-layer clear coat is applied, consisting of a polyester primer and an acrylic clear coat.

Testing procedures/safety
After their design, the first sample rims are manufactured under real production conditions. These must undergo a multitude of tests. Among other things, their strength is tested. The bending test simulates the "rim lifespan." Every AC Schnitzer rim must survive this lifespan unscathed in order to be produced and sold. Vehicle-specific tests, including test installations with clearance measurements and driving tests on public roads and racetracks, follow. Only after these procedures do our rims receive homologation, i.e., approval for use on public roads. Wheels are safety-critical components. Therefore, they are inspected and tested with the utmost care. This begins with initial chemical material tests and concludes with rigorous endurance tests on test machines: - §30 StVZO wheel guidelines - ECE R124 - Bending tests - 90° impact test - Rolling tests
