A couple of weeks after deciding against the 18" Alpina wheels, I was really itching to
get this process of looking for wheels over with. When a friend offered his set of AC
Schnitzer Type 1 to me I bought them without hesitation. The wheels were not in the best
of condition so I had them sent to be refurbished. I'm rather pleased with the buy because
it's the look I'm after for my car. I don't see many e34s riding on AC Type I which is a
pity because they look good and are much easier to clean compared to the multi-spoke
Alpinas! Most of the AC Schnitzer wheels I've seen on e34s are of the Type III variety.
In my opinion, the Type I design is better suited to the e34 BMW 5-series because of their
understated design. I have resisted fixing side skirts and rear spoilers as I want to look
discrete and I'm happy that the AC Type I wheels will continue the theme.
