They play a key role in the driving and propulsion as well as the deceleration - i.e. braking - of your vehicle. This gives the wheels a key role. Anyone who develops and sells wheels therefore has a great responsibility. We are aware of this responsibility; we have internalized it and implement it with every new development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAC Schnitzer only uses high-quality brand tyres, which are developed in close cooperation with premium tyre manufacturers. On the one hand, the tyres have to transfer the power of the engine perfectly to the road, on the other hand, properties such as braking behaviour, lateral control, water drainage in rain and the properties in straight running are important decision criteria for or against a tyre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eA wheel set with wide base tyres is always also an investment in increasing driving safety and dynamics. In order to maintain driving comfort when using larger wheel dimensions, we at AC Schnitzer have actively opted against run-flat tyres and for sporty, conventional tyres. Conventional tires build up less rolling resistance and offer noticeably more comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAC Schnitzer specialises in mixed-sized tyres, i.e. wheel sets in which the wheels of the rear axle are wider than those of the front axle. This makes sense in terms of driving dynamics, as it allows strong drive forces to be transmitted while at the same time enabling high steering precision. Although the wider a tyre is, the more power you can put on the road, the rolling resistance caused by the tyre must not become too high. As the rolling resistance increases the wider a tyre is, AC Schnitzer works out the wheel dimensions that are balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAC Schnitzer develops special wheel\/tyre combinations for all-wheel drive vehicles and orientates itself on the specifications of the vehicle manufacturer. These AC Schnitzer wheel sets are marked \"xi\/xd\". Only those wheel dimensions are developed and approved for all-wheel drive vehicles that are as gentle on transfer cases as standard wheel sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAll AC Schnitzer wheel sets are tuned in multi-stage driving tests in traffic and on race tracks. Only after successful test runs the wheels are released for sale. All AC Schnitzer wheel sets are delivered fully assembled and balanced. They are subject to a two-year manufacturer's warranty. The scope of delivery includes mounting materials such as adapters and wheel bolts as well as the homologation certificate (with the exception of marked wheelsets for export).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePhilosophy\/Design:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe wheels not only physically but also optically connect a car to the road. “That‘s why it‘s very important to have the right dimensions between the proportions of the rims to the bodywork,“ explains AC Schnitzer chief designer Michele Viandante. Rims that are too small quickly make a vehicle appear high-legged and unstable. The new Lightweight Forged Rims ”AC3“ from AC Schnitzer, on the other hand, are truly earthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- machined “GESCHMIEDET” logo on the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- machined original AC Schnitzer logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- Limited Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- open design in Silver\/Anthracite, giving a clear view to the brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe AC3 Wheels are an absolute highlight in the AC Schnitzer wheel range. These Lightweight Forged Wheels - with partly polished and partly painted surfaces in Silver\/Anthracite - achieve what appears to be fundamentally contradictory: reduction in weight on the one hand and the largest possible wheel diameters and widths on the other. The AC Schnitzer engineers and designers implement this apparent contradiction with the AC3 Lightweight Forged Rim: the design is completely independent - although the relationship to the successful Type V rim is unmistakable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAC Schnitzer already gave the one-piece Lightweight Forged Rims AC3 extremely sporty genes in their design and these manifest themselves in their outer appearance: the central element is the filigree yet massive spoke matrix with its five triangular struts. The strong concave centre, to which the spokes seem to rush, underlines the uncompromisingly dynamic impression. A stainless steel plate also indicates the rarity value of each AC3 Lightweight Forged Rim: \"One of 300 LIMITED EDITION\". So anyone who has one can really consider himself lucky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe weight of the front axle rim is only 10.1 kg - the weight of the rear axle rim is sporty 11.2 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- high quality lightweight forged wheels save approx. 25-35% weight, compared with conventional cast wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- perceptible reduction in unsprung mass and gyroscopic forces on the car, therefore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- significantly improved driving dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- significantly improved acceleration and deceleration due to lower masses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- improved cornering handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- high quality clear lacquer protects the wheel against corrosion, therefore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- long life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAbout 97 percent of the melt consists of aluminium, but the remaining three percent of the wrought alloy also helps to influence the desired properties of the material for the ideal wheel.
