Looking for Insights on AC Schnitzer Type 3 Wheels

Don’t forget about interior styling! New shift knobs or seat covers can really make a difference. I’ve added some carbon fiber accents to mine, and it feels so much more luxurious.

Carbon fiber is definitely a great choice for a modern look! I also recommend adding some ambient lighting; it can change the whole vibe of your interior.

If you’re looking for unique styles, check out some custom wheel finishes. Matte black or bronze can contrast beautifully with the standard body colors. Anyone tried this?

I’ve been contemplating that! Matte finishes look amazing when paired with the right color. Just be aware of upkeep; they can get stained easily.

Great idea, but I think some might argue that glossy wheels are classic. What do you all prefer?

I’m definitely leaning towards gloss! It just has that timeless shine that demands attention, which I love. Gloss works well with Bodykit enhancements too.

True, but it really depends on the overall look you’re going for. Mix and match styles to make it yours!

For those who are curious, I’ve seen significant improvements in handling with lighter wheels. It’s all about the balance between performance and style, after all!

That’s a solid point! Performance definitely shouldn’t be sacrificed just for looks. It’s all about finding the right balance.

Has anyone tried a complete custom setup? I wonder how far you can push the aesthetic without losing drivability.

I’ve seen some builds that push the limits, but sometimes they end up compromising performance. It’s a bit of a gamble, isn’t it?

Totally agree! It’s a tricky balance. I’m still trying to find that sweet spot myself.

Why not make it a project? Try a few styles, see what you like best! Ultimately, it’s your ride and should reflect your personality.

Hope you all don’t mind a Dad joke: Why did the car break up with the wheels? Because they had too much ‘tire’-some trouble deciding on style!

I’m considering the AC Schnitzer Type 3 wheels too! They look great, but I’m curious about the maintenance. What do I need to know to keep them in good shape?

Definitely agree! Regular cleaning and using a sealant can help prevent corrosion. Also, be sure to check the torque settings after installation.

I’ve had my Type 3 wheels for a year now, and the only issue was a slight bend after hitting a pothole. Just keep an eye on road conditions and consider getting wheel insurance!

That’s solid advice! Have you found any specific preventative measures that have helped?

You should definitely consider checking the alignment periodically too. It can help prolong the life of the wheels and tires!

Hey, can anyone tell me if the Type 3 wheels are more prone to cracking compared to OEM? I’ve heard mixed reviews.
