AC Schnitzer AC3 10x20
Philosophy/Design
The 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.

The AC3 Wheels are an absolute highlight in the AC Schnitzer wheel range. These Lightweight Forged Wheels - with partly polished and partly painted surfaces in Anthracite/Silver - 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.
AC 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.
- high quality lightweight forged wheels save approx. 25-35% weight, compared with conventional cast wheels
- perceptible reduction in unsprung mass and gyroscopic forces on the car, therefore
- significantly improved driving dynamics
- significantly improved acceleration and deceleration due to lower masses
- improved cornering handling
- high quality clear lacquer protects the wheel against corrosion, therefore
- long life
