There are a wealth of AC Schnitzer alloys and racing rims available for the BMW 1 series in Type II, Type III and Type IV designs.

As well as various combinations in 17" and 18" the 1-series can be fitted with 19" alloy or racing rims which take tyres of size 225/35 R 19 all round. This modification alone already perceptibly improves the driving dynamics.

AC Schnitzer recommends high performance from Continental and Michelin.
