Cheap 17" Schnitzers

Recommended Posts

Im not entirely sure but I remember reading somewhere that replicas have BMW center caps and genuines wheels have Schnitzers because they are a different size.

Is that correct ?

OZ racing made the earlier Schnitzer wheels, so I guess it's possible. But they use a different type of bolt with an unusual head for their split rims - you actually need to buy the tools from OZ to pull them apart.

And those are definitely OZ Racing bolts.

Can confirm that on my old wheels, the Schnitzer centre caps were a different size to my BMW centre caps but I'm not sure if the BMW ones also come in different sizes.

From pic 4 it seems that the BMW logo is misaligned on the centre cap which suggests it's a sticker? So they could be genuine wheels with ACS caps but I can't tell from the pictures.

Yep , OZ first then by Ronal , only the two genuine genuine A C Schnitzer forgers that are known. Replicas are cast usually.

Are you saying all ACS wheels are forged? I thought my Ronals were cast.
