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 technical and visual revolution: The AC Schnitzer Type VIII forged racing wheel. 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. The Type VIII forged racing wheel is based on the design of the Type VIII rim, but has a lot more to offer. This genuine, three-piece design product is a revolution in the large market environment for popular wire-spoke rims and fits perfectly with BMW's design language. The visual charm of the rim with its classic 5-twin spokes results from the cast, forged, and machined inner center and the anthracite spoke frame. The visible screw connections to the rim wells are entirely intentional. The stainless steel screws simultaneously document the multi-piece design and the associated exclusivity of the rim. The outer and inner rim wells are made of forged material manufactured using the flow-forming process. Despite all the details, the multi-part VIII forged racing wheel doesn't appear playful, but rather masculine and sporty thanks to its straight lines. - 3-part rim - visible screw connection with stainless steel screws - particularly stable - Outer rim: forged, milled, rolled, and clear-coated - Rim center: forged, milled, and painted black - Inner rim: aluminum block, milled, rolled, and anodized in anthracite - Surface: turned, clear-coated - Lightweight inner center, using forging technology - Weight reduction through forging technology - Reduction of unsprung mass and gyroscopic forces on the car, resulting in significantly increased driving dynamics - Better acceleration and deceleration due to lower masses - Improved cornering - Striking, sleek design in anthracite with silver - High-quality clear coat to protect the rim against corrosion, resulting in a long service life - Exclusive look of the forged racing wheels

Rim star: Forged block made of high-strength aluminum Outer rim: High-strength aluminum Inner rim: High-strength aluminum
production
Steps on the path to perfection - Forged rim center - Deep-drawn outer rim, CNC-machined, high-gloss polished, and clear-coated - Deep-drawn inner rim, CNC-machined, and anodized. The individual components are firmly connected to one another with titanium screws. Surface: Bicolor silver/anthracite. In this process, the wheel is first primed and then completely painted. The surfaces that will later have a bright metallic shine are machined and then polished to a high gloss. Finally, a two-layer clear coat is applied, consisting of a polyester primer and an acrylic clear coat. Outer rim / Surface: In this process, the outer rim is first polished to a high gloss. Then, a two-layer clear coat is applied, consisting of a polyester primer and a glossy acrylic clear coat. Inner rim / Surface: The inner rim 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
