Philosophy/Design
A generational change for AC Schnitzer wheels. Not only the name, but also the design – both point to the generational change in the AC Schnitzer wheel segment. While the AC1 wheels 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 wheels, 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 wheel: 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 work together to give the AC1 wheel solidity and grandeur. - Weight-optimized, cast light alloy wheels - Manufactured using a low-pressure casting process with subsequent heat treatment - Open, 5-spoke design in black, which allows a clear view of the brakes - Raised original AC Schnitzer lettering - The rim is protected against corrosion with a high-quality clear coat, which guarantees a long service life - Basic rim of the AC1 rim family

material
Only high-quality aluminum 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 aluminum 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.

Surface Black
In this process, the wheel is first primed and then completely painted. A two-layer clear coat is then 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 Directive - ECE R124 - Bending tests - 90° impact test - Roll tests
