MINI tuning by AC Schnitzer
Dark shoulders, muscular body: the new Mi2 one-piece alloy wheels from AC Schnitzer are the ideal companion for both generations of MINI. One, Cooper or Cooper S, hard top or Convertible.
At the moment the AC Schnitzer designers and engineers develop a special accessories range for the new MINI. Following the history of the MINI, we will concentrate on special developments in the area of performance upgrades, sports rear silencer, sports suspension, exterior components and Interior details.
Four pairs of straight spokes in V-shaped groupings suggest a sophisticated mixture of racing flair and luxury. The original Bicolor finish, achieved by the inner hub painted black up to the polished rim, adds a dash of daring. Qualities which characterised even the first MINIs at the end of the 50s. Where the original design had to settle for 10″ and later 12″ wheels, AC Schnitzer offers the Mi2 wheels in a size 7.5J x 18″ offset 50 which is more in keeping with the latest MINI and which perfectly fills the wheelarch.
Here AC Schnitzer recommends high performance tyres in size 215/35 R 18 or 205/40 R 18 from Continental and Michelin.
