Philosophy/Design
Elegant and sporty look: AC Schnitzer Type VIII alloy wheel. The AC Schnitzer Type VIII alloy wheel with a bi-colour finish in two silver tones complements the Type VIII wheel range, which also includes the racing forged wheel and the lightweight forged Type VIII wheel. This one-piece wheel is attractive and easy to maintain, yet offers unrestricted everyday usability. The Type VIII alloy wheel is manufactured using a low-pressure process and undergoes heat treatment after casting. Thanks to the superior casting process, the wheel design, in its typical AC Schnitzer design with five twin spokes, has been developed with even greater filigree and weight optimization. With its perfect bi-colour finish, the Type VIII alloy wheel lends the BMW series a sophisticated, sporty look. - AC Schnitzer light alloy wheel in innovative design - Weight-optimised, cast light alloy wheel - Integrated original "AC Schnitzer" logo - Open, 5-spoke design in Bicolour Silver offers a clear view of the brakes - High-quality clear coat to protect the wheel against corrosion, thus - 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 Silver 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
