AC Schnitzer alloys.

Post by MonsterZ4 » Tue Mar 19, 2024 12:09 pm

Hello folks.
Is anyone running AC Schnitzer Type 2 or 3 alloys on their Z4? Either 18 or 19 sized.
I’m possibly looking at aftermarket alloys and these are a style I quite fancy.
Also, any recommendations for a good reps in this style?
Pictures so shown what I’m on about.

I looked into these a while back and if I remember correctly someone on the forum had picked up an original set of these of another car and had to run spacers . They are a very nice wheel . At the time I don`t think anyone was producing these aftermarket in correct offsets and I think they were quite heavy .
Montego Blue E86 . MILV`s . Simpson Custom Manifold Race Exhaust . xHP transmission stage 3 . VT engine mounts . BC RA coilovers . H&R arbs . Adjustable rear camber arms . Ultra Racing front strut brace . Drexler LSD .

Thank you.

In the description of the video it says the following but the car in the video has type 2's I believe however it may help you:

AC Schnitzer development in wheels: the light alloy wheel Type IV. The filigree rims in the new 5-spoke design are an excellent match for the elegant styling of the BMW Z4. Naturally their technical standards live up to their appearance: the new Type IV alloys were developed using highest quality materials and ultra-modern production techniques.
It is immediately available for the Z4 in the dimension 8,5J x 19" offset 43 (front) and offset 33 (rear) with tyres 235/35 R 19 (front / rear).
The AC Schnitzer wheels program with its successful predecessors Type II and Type III light alloy and racing wheels is of course also still the right choice. Especially for the Z4 roadster there are many different sizes available up to the dimension 8,5J x 19" offset 43 with tyres 235/35 R 19 for the front and 9,0J x 19" offset 37 with tyres 265/30 R 19 on the rear.
