Hi,

I think I'm about to buy some 20" ACS IV replicas, the reason I say "think" is subject to a sanity check with you lot.

They are 9J and have an offset of 14, so not stepped, however the supplier will fit stepped tyres.

He will fit with Falken FK452 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear. Ive been told they will be a straight fit to my 535d. As these are less than half the price of the real kit they are mighty tempting. Ive been told that they are manufactured in Miami from the same dies as original ACS are made...any further info on this appreciated from anyone who might be in the know.

Anyway thats it, feedback appreciated..

 

Not commenting the offset but the tyre size is too big in diameter.

245/35 and 275/30 is for 19" wheels. The 18 inchers go by 245/40 and 275/35.

So the 20" should be 245/30 and 275/25.

Check out the salesafter.de offer for the OEM Styling 172 19" wheels with
non RF ContiSportContact2's for €2.155.

 

I know that fuchs manufacture the type v's for ACS in Aachen, not sure who ACS commission to manufacture the Type IVs but you could give ACS a call and ask (they are very helpful, as was there only two weeks ago!)

Sorry can't help re offsets and RRs, but there are plenty of websites with useful info on the "www"

Type IVs are nice, but Type Vs are

 

Please do post pics of the rims. Both type IV and V

 

These are the IV's, bigger pic is of the 2006 model, (not the replicas i'm looking at, thats the small pic )


Type V's


Love the new 2006 IV's

 

Here is a type 5 we snapped at ACS in Aachen:

 

Was there any indication of pricing at the show.....

 

It wasn't a show, it was at ACS' head office in Aachen (based at a BMW Dealer) and i didn't enquire about the price.

Until UK BMW dealers catch up, the only place you can buy OEM ACS Type 5s in the U.K. at the moment is CA Automotive (the best car tuners in the UK!!!!): http://www.ca-at.co.uk/ ?3250 inc vat (no tyres) - might not be on their site but call and ask to speak to roy or shawn!
