Did a double take last weekend when I saw a Honda Accord with replica AC Type IV rims... a friend said he's seen them on a Camry as well - what's the world coming to??

Isn't that as bad as putting a TRD sticker on a Mercedes (yes I've actually seen one here!)
 
Re: Honda by AC Schnitzer

i've seen it on a Honda Integra as well
 
Re: Honda by AC Schnitzer

Haha snapz, that's gotta suck for Type IV rim owners
 
Re: Honda by AC Schnitzer

well i guess its cos its the globalisation we are talking about... haha

why not check out this months' hotstuff (or is it wheels) magazine...

there is a featured tuscani whose pictures and spec sheet included AC Schnitzer Type IV rims!!!!

whoaaaaa.
 
Re: Honda by AC Schnitzer

(1) It's replica. The Tuscani in question has 18" Racing Type IV. In the same issue, there is a wide-body Civic on Hamann HMII. It was spelt Harmann.

(2) There's nothing wrong with other marques using BMW afterparts. I have seen Accord using M3 bootlid spoiler. Unless they do that to give an impression that the car is a UDM. Even that is contentious if it is really unacceptable. What if you see a Galant with M-Tec bodykit?

(3) I am quite used to rides using M or AC Schnitzer emblems. Even some non-M bimmers are badging M.

(4) Do you think it is a good idea to badge "TaMMy" on my ride?

Nothing. Just deliberating between TaMMy and NYP.
 
Re: Honda by AC Schnitzer

just wondering.....do european (western) aftermarket tuners like ACS, hamann, breyton etc. work/produce exclusively for the relevant marques? or do they go where the market takes them from a business/commercial point of view.....?

Yes, i m.. using M3 bootlid spoiler on my Euro R :nehnehhh:
wanted to transfer my Hamann HMII too, but cant fit.. :lol2:
 
Re: Honda by AC Schnitzer

That is because it's replica. Original ones won't happen, well at least for now....
Afterall, all the rims makers need to do is to come up with different P.C.Ds which is an easy job.

The first time I saw AC Type IV rims on non bmw was mid last year in Jakarta on Honda Odyssey :)

Yep. And few other Accords. Quite common.

Mostly are still with the marques where the started but gradually i think they are expanding. Eg Hamann...they are into Lambo now too.

AC and Breyton are still BMW whores:lol2:
 
Re: Honda by AC Schnitzer

might be wrong but even just amongst conti tuners they do remain quite 'loyal' right? like carlsson, brabus for merc and oettinger for vags.....

Re: Honda by AC Schnitzer

hahaha, ok thanks for the correction...
shall i say asia cars den
 
Re: Honda by AC Schnitzer

And I was thinking of getting the ACS IV for my replacement rims....

The guy who designed the ACS IV rims ought to be rewarded for creating such a popular design :)

hahahahhaaa..

i bet you like both!
 
Re: Honda by AC Schnitzer

Maybe if we really get our eyes peeled, we may see Wira, Waja, Gen2 or even Kenari on replica AC or Hamann rims... Saw a Waja with breyton logo b4...:screwedu:
OT: Is Tammy now the main feature of NYP? I didn't go to the wrong school did I?
