Wheelset development at AC Schnitzer
A few definitions first

Wheel/Complete wheel = Rim including tire Wheelset = 4 wheels xi/xd Wheelsets = special wheelsets for all-wheel drive vehicles (xDrive) Mixed tires = Tires wider on the rear axle than on the front axle All-round tires = Tires the same on the front and rear axle
The wheels play a truly vital and therefore important role: they are the postcard-sized connection between the vehicle and the road. They are largely responsible for the acceleration and propulsion, as well as for the deceleration – i.e., braking – of your vehicle. The wheels therefore play a key role. Anyone who develops and sells wheels bears a great responsibility. We are aware of this responsibility; we have internalized it and implement it in every new development. At AC Schnitzer, we only use high-quality brand-name tires, developed in close cooperation with premium tire manufacturers. On the one hand, the tires must perfectly transfer the engine's power to the road; on the other hand, properties such as braking performance, lateral stability, water drainage in the rain, and straight-line stability are important decision criteria for or against a tire. A set of wide-base tires is always an investment in increased driving safety and dynamics. To maintain driving comfort when using larger wheel dimensions, we at AC Schnitzer have actively opted against run-flat tires and opted for sporty, conventional tires. Conventional tires create less rolling resistance and offer noticeably more comfort. AC Schnitzer specializes in mixed tire configurations, meaning wheel sets where the rear wheels are wider than the front wheels. This makes sense in terms of driving dynamics, as it allows for the transfer of strong drive forces while simultaneously enabling high steering precision. While the wider a tire, the more power you can deliver to the road, the rolling resistance caused by the tire must not be too great. Since this increases with the wider a tire, AC Schnitzer develops balanced wheel dimensions. AC Schnitzer develops special wheel/tire combinations for all-wheel drive vehicles, orienting themselves in these combinations to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications. You can recognize these AC Schnitzer wheel sets by the "xi/xd" designation. Only those wheel dimensions are developed and approved for all-wheel drive vehicles that are just as gentle on the transfer case as standard wheel sets. All AC Schnitzer wheel sets are tuned in multi-stage driving tests on the road and on race tracks. The wheels are only released for sale after successful testing. All AC Schnitzer wheel sets are delivered fully assembled and balanced. They are covered by a two-year manufacturer's warranty. The scope of delivery includes mounting materials such as adapters and wheel bolts, as well as the parts certificate (except for wheel sets marked for export).

Philosophy/Design:
A generational change for AC Schnitzer rims. When light-alloy wheels consist of more than one component, they are referred to as multi-piece light-alloy wheels. Three-piece AC Schnitzer light-alloy wheels consist of two rim halves and the rim center. Not only the name, but also the design – both indicate the generational change in the rim segment at AC Schnitzer. While the AC1 rims are designed differently, they follow in the footsteps of their predecessors in one respect: they too are intended to become design classics. With the AC1 rims, AC Schnitzer has reinterpreted the classic double spoke. The result is a sporty hybrid look. Towards the rim flange, the sophisticated design creates the tips of triangles, which become wider towards the rim center and are replaced by five trapezoids. These lead the eye directly to the only classic element of the AC1 rim: the pentagonal hub cap with AC Schnitzer lettering. Despite this multitude of stylistic elements, the design appears tidy and masculine thanks to its very straight lines. All elements combine to give the AC1 wheel solidity and grandeur. The two-tone finish creates a striking interplay, especially when moving. - Three-piece design with visible bolts - High load capacity due to the special construction - Outer rim: forged, milled, rolled, and clear-coated - Rim center: forged and milled - Inner rim: milled, rolled, and anodized aluminum block - Weight-optimized racing rims with integrated original AC Schnitzer lettering - Weight reduction through forging technology compared to conventional cast wheels - Reduction of unsprung mass and centrifugal forces on the car - Increased driving dynamics - Open, 5-spoke design in black, allowing a clear view of the brakes - High-quality clear coat protects the rim against corrosion, guaranteeing a long service life - Technical evolution of the AC1 rims

material
Rim star: Forged block made of high-strength aluminum Outer rim: High-strength aluminum Inner rim: High-strength aluminum

production
Steps on the way to perfection - Forged rim star - Outer rim deep-drawn, CNC-machined, high-gloss polished and clear coated - Inner rim deep-drawn, CNC-machined, anodized The individual components are connected to one another using high-strength titanium screws.

Surface Black - Outer bed / Surface
In this process, the wheel is first primed, then completely painted. A two-layer clear coat is then applied, consisting of a polyester primer and a matte acrylic clear coat.

Inner bed / Surface The inner bed is anodized

Test 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
