Philosophy/Design
Innovative, high-quality design down to the smallest detail Specially designed for SUV vehicles: The AC Schnitzer AC2 light alloy wheels The new AC Schnitzer AC2 light alloy wheel has a unique look, with ten-armed, stylized Y-spokes reminiscent of the tentacles of an octopus. Manufactured using a low-pressure casting process with subsequent heat treatment, the shaped rim star of the monoblock wheel offers a clear view of the axle and brakes. The center of the "cephalopod" on the AC2 light alloy wheel is the hub cap in its classic, pentagonal shape with the AC Schnitzer logo. Just like the octopus, the "brain" of the light alloy wheel is not just in the head, but branches out into its outermost components. Specially designed for SUV vehicles and protected against corrosion with a high-quality clear coat, the AC Schnitzer AC2 light alloy wheel offers innovative, high-quality design down to the smallest detail and a guaranteed long service life coupled with unrestricted everyday suitability. - Weight-optimized, cast alloy wheels - Manufactured using a low-pressure casting process with subsequent heat treatment - In glossy black - Open design that allows a clear view of the axle and brakes - The stylized Y-spokes ensure clean lines and a unique design - Hub cap in a classic, pentagonal shape - Specially designed for SUV vehicles - Raised AC Schnitzer lettering - The rim is protected against corrosion with a high-quality clear coat, which guarantees a long service life

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, then painted completely black. 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 guidelines - ECE R124 - Bending tests - 90° impact test - Rolling tests
