AC Schnitzer Type 4's

RCUK · 02-16-2009, 06:31 AM

Just been offered a set of these on 20's for a decent price.

Black with chrome lip - only thing is ive never seen them on anything,

Has anyone seen these in the flesh and would they look good on a sapphy black 335d SE - thinking the chrome lip and chromw window surrounds might match nicely..

Hmm.... thats what im thinking ...

Prob is ive been offered them for £1150 ... with 500 miles on them from a BMW main dealer mate!

New these retail at over £4k with tyres!

Tempted to get em, use them for a while and then sell them on for what i paid.

My wife is so gonna kill me.

doughboy · 02-16-2009, 06:44 AM

Just say that because they are lighter the car does more MPG?

She might believe you?

RCUK · 02-16-2009, 06:50 AM

it is technically her fault - she said that the 17's looked a little small ...

G33 · 02-16-2009, 06:57 AM

i was gonna get them at a good price too. they werent staggered fitment tho. local sales manager had them and buckled them within a few weeks....

pics below

RCUK · 02-16-2009, 07:01 AM

damn i do like them!!

Mind is i ask where you were getting them from - the price is almost too low which is also making me a little weary!

M3-FAST · 02-16-2009, 07:13 AM

They look wicked on a black car - go for it!

Budgie · 02-16-2009, 07:20 AM

Silver/chrome with black car ...but there so cheap I wouldnt refuse nor could refuse.Gotta be done deal IMHO.

RCUK · 02-16-2009, 07:36 AM

You guys are not helping

... but glad you see my dilemma re the pricing! Just waiting for the guy to send me through some pics and tyre depths before i say yay or nay.

Guess there will always be a market for genuine second hand schnitzer stuff.

Budgie · 02-16-2009, 07:40 AM

Yeah as long as they allow you to depth check and have a independant tell u ..there straight and true...stop dithering lol.

RCUK · 02-16-2009, 09:06 AM

Does anyone know if you can run 20's on the e92 without any arch scrubbing/full lock issues?

RDG 40 · 02-16-2009, 09:43 AM

the 20s do rub you cant lower or space out without probs.

They are nice and will go on if they are non staggered, my dealer did one on white but they rub standard, so i cant go with it being lowered

RCUK · 02-16-2009, 10:14 AM

Hmm...me thinks this is an opportunity to pass up.

If anyone wants the dealers details feel free to email me and ill check to see if its okay to pass on the opportunity to someone else!

G33 · 02-16-2009, 12:59 PM

i had a good chat with the sales manager at the time. the 20s on his car did not rub on msport suspension and had no turning issues either. surely it depends on if he had the right ACS fitting kit to go with them.

comments made to me from the sales manager who was running them were

"dont buy them, they're crap. they ride really hard and you will feel every imperfection in the road. they also buckle easily keep your optional 19s you have on now, they are much better..." or something along those lines (this was over a year ago mind u so i apoligise if i dont remeber the exact wording. its as close as i can recall)

he did however manage to bugger every single one of them, down to poor driving? who knows but if theyre 'straight' they are a good deal for that money you have been offered, if theyre staggered theyre an even more attractice buy but to use daily on 20s with such low profile tyres wud surely feel like crap? think u need a 25 profile for a 10inch rear?

Garage was North Oxford BMW. the new price they offered me was much much more than what you wud be paying for them now tho.

mikem · 02-16-2009, 01:22 PM

I looked into getting a set of those Magic Blacks but they have a reputation for being easily bent.

It`s a great price but difficult to sell on as most people will want 19`s rather than 20`s.

RCUK · 02-16-2009, 01:35 PM

They arent staggered wheels, and i think the driving will be an issue as ive spoken to a mate who managed to buckle a similar rim mounting a curb!!

Id be crying if i had to hand over £1k for one rim!

Mate go for them I have them on mine no rubbing at all. They look the dogs on black e92. I paid 3.5k tho!!!

RCUK · 02-17-2009, 04:34 AM

£3.5k???? Damn!!!

Im looking at a set of 189's on ebay at the mo instead as i cant find 199's anywhere!

Kal · 02-17-2009, 06:55 AM

I do like them, look very nice
