So I am in a dispute with the DTMBimmer07, he sold me these AC Schnitzer Type II 17x8 et 38. He claims that they are real. I had a wheel guy look them over and he told me his opinion. Let me know what your opinion is, just take a look at the pictures:

Has the right marks except the "GREMANY" is really peculiar. I don't know if Ronal's QC would let that pass on an ACS wheel but who knows... I mean, why trash a wheel because of a misspelling? Reps typically don't have any kind of branding like "Ronal" and "AC Schnitzer" like we see here and very few markings. There are markings everywhere on this wheel including each spoke. I vote for real. If these are fake, they are damn good ones. I don't blame you for being suspicious...ACS' are some of the most copied wheels.
Let's see if Mr Wiggles has one of these wheels in his stockpile. Let's see if they match up.Last edited by reelizmpro; 08-23-2012, 11:18 PM."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Real.
The fakes don't have the ACS or ronal logos casted into them or the ACS part number. Yours have all three. I wouldn't doubt their authenticity in the slightest.
As for the Gremany, It probably got overlooked. That's pretty easy to miss as your brain will automatically fix it and you won't think anything of it.

Real. Throw them on the car and have a beer, they'll look good.
I work with BMW motorcycles, it's amazing sometimes the things that get overlooked. Logos up-side down, even have seen VINS messed up.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

I don't drink... On a side note I talked to the quality control person over at AC Schnitzer and they are saying that wheels are more than likely fake. I sent him over a bunch of photos, he said he was going to look it over and get back to me on monday...Originally posted by IRON-ESkirtz are for zeh womenzzzz....
