ACS Type IV Rims? Thoughts?

alpini · 11-25-2008, 04:02 PM

Have been thinking of changing the rims again and have taken quite a fancy to the 19" ACS Type IV Bicolour:

£3390 from ACS.... (with Continental Sport Contact 3) - good tyres?

Some ACS on Ebay although not the same model, would save you a few quid!

they dont look that good in the flesh. Spokes to thin, wil make your barakes look puny.

Porscha! · 11-25-2008, 04:30 PM

I like them

Look lovely on the car in the pic

Not if he upgrades his brakes while he's at it

ACS stuff is all a bit Ripspeed to me. Not nice, IMO.

I think the ACS wheels are very car sensitive.

I stuck some ACS Type3's on the 130 for this years 'Ring trip... I thought the old design wouldn't look right, I (IMO) they REALLY suited the car...

Agree you'd need to upgrade your brakes, as the thin spokes will make the 120i brakes look tiny.

I agree with Biscuits, a mates got a set of 20's fitted on his e60 and I think they really set the car off.

Not sure if I like them on the e9x series though...

This was mine with the 18's, they needed spacers on the rears for the E90/91...

hmm never seen any in the flesh, but i do like the look of them from the photo!!

with regard to the Conti Sport Contact3s ... i run these and have been very pleased with them, very good in the wet too i noticed as well as the dry, some of the more expensive brands are spot on in the dry but falter in the wet. The contis are a excellent all rounder in my opinon, they wear well too
