This is because this design element can actually only be realised if it is machined out of a solid material, such as is required in the forging process, as it is located behind the spokes. The undercut of the AC4 Flow forming rims is particularly visible on the Bicolour version, as it brings out the high-quality aluminium with its silver surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial\u003cbr\u003e\nOnly high-quality aluminium alloys are used. The material is additionally heat-treated in the production process, which results in higher strength and simultaneous weight reduction.\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial samples during the production process guarantee the constant and high quality of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufacture\u003cbr\u003e\nDue to the production process, the new AC4 Flow forming rims are lighter than conventionally cast alloy rims and this is measurable: the 8.5J x 20\" weighs just 11 kg and the 9.5J x 20\" rim also weighs only 11.9 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flow forming process is one of the most advanced manufacturing technologies in wheel industry. In this production process, after the actual aluminium casting, the raw product is further processed by rolling it out. This step serves to compress the metal, which guarantees greater stability and impact resistance of the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand, the improved stability also allows the design of the wheels to be more filigree, as the wall thicknesses can be significantly thinner compared to conventionally manufactured rims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurface Bicolour\u003cbr\u003e\nIn this process, the wheel is first primed and then completely painted. Now the surfaces, which are later to shine metallically bright, are turned off and then polished to a high gloss. Finally, a two-layer clear coat is applied, consisting of a polyester primer and the acrylic clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTest Procedures \/ Safety\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter their design, the first sample rims are manufactured under real production conditions. These must undergo a multitude of tests. Among other things, the strength is tested. The \"rim life\" is simulated in the bending circumferential test. Every AC Schnitzer rim must withstand this intact in order to be allowed to be produced and sold at all.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is followed by vehicle-specific tests, including test installations with check of unobstructed movement and driving tests on public roads and on race tracks. Only after these procedures our rims receive their homologation, i.e. the approval to be used in road traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWheels are safety-relevant components. Therefore, they are checked and tested with the greatest care. This starts with the first chemical material tests and ends with hard testing machine endurance runs:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- § 30 StVZO wheel guideline\u003cbr\u003e\n- ECE R124\u003cbr\u003e\n- Bending-rotation tests\u003cbr\u003e\n- 90° impact test\u003cbr\u003e\n- unwinding tests\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScope of delivery:\u003cbr\u003e\n- rim AC4 Flow forming Silver\/Black\u003cbr\u003e\n- specific hub cover\u003cbr\u003e\n- homologation certificate\u003cbr\u003e\n- optional vehicle- and rim-specific mounting and fastening material\u003cbr\u003e\n- care instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUniqueness of the AC4 Flow forming Wheels:\u003cbr\u003e\n- weight-optimised\u003cbr\u003e\n- developed exclusively for BMW vehicles\u003cbr\u003e\n- lasered original AC Schnitzer logo\u003cbr\u003e\n- open design in Bicolour Silver\/Black, giving a clear view to the brakes\u003cbr\u003e\n- engineered in Germany\u003cbr\u003e\n- compatible with standard RDC system\u003cbr\u003e\n- also available as a complete wheel\u003cbr\u003e\n- Warranty 2 years\u003cbr\u003e\n- production monitored according to ISO standard\u003cbr\u003e\n- Bicolour Silver\/Black optionally also in Black\u003cbr\u003e\n- KDS mount for wheel alignment according to BMW specification is available\u003cbr\u003e\n- Spacers\/mounting package for the best possible position in the wheel arch (to be ordered separately)\u003cbr\u003e\n- Assembly package vehicle specific optional\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU \/ Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 361185204327+361349115+361349110\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e AC Schnitzer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wheels (Alloys, Steels etc.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 361185204327+361349115+361349110\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/strong\u003e check supplier availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTorque Monsta fitment confirmation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Check the manufacturer part number, vehicle model, generation, engine, power output, year range and factory options before ordering.
