BERLIN, GERMANY – August 31, 2009: Wheels create more than just a physical connection with the road - it's visual too. "So the right proportion of wheels to bodywork is extremely important“, explains AC Schnitzer Chief Designer Michele Viandante. "If the wheels are too small, the car soon starts to look leggy and unstable“. The AC Schnitzer forged alloy rims Type V however give a really connected impression: with an external diameter of 22 inches - that's over half a metre - they provide the necessary visual ground adhesion and fill the wheelarches even on vehicles like the new 7-series (F01/F02), the X5 (E70) and the X6 (E71). And the front wheels weigh just 14.3 kg each!
The one-piece forged alloys Type V in BiColor Finish reflect their high performance genes from AC Schnitzer in their construction and display this externally: the central element is the delicate but solid-looking spoke matrix with its five triangular webs. The deeply dished centre, and the spokes appearing to rush into it, emphasises the uncompromising dynamic impression.
The new Type V forged alloys are available in the following sizes for the vehicles listed:
