AC Schnitzer AC1
Clean, masculine lines give the new AC1 its sharp identity, while those five double spokes converge on a pentagonal hub bearing the AC Schnitzer logo. It's the schnitz, produced in a low-pressure casting process and then heat-treated. The AC1 is a three-piece rim with visible bolting and comes in Bi-Color Anthracite or matte-finish Anthracite. It will fit most current BMW cars (naturally), several Mini models, and the Range Rover Sport. Diameters go from 18 to 23 inches, while widths range between 7.5 and 11.5 inches. $TBA. acschnitzer-us.com

CEC C25/26/27 Made in Germany
Claus Ettensberger and his CEC company are celebrating 25 years of tuning and transformations in 2015. And those celebrations involve creating the C25 wheel, a diamond-cut, forged, two-piece, spinning work of art. But CEC isn't the kind of company to stop there, hence the C26 and C27 as well, forming the Made in Germany Wheel Collection. The 10-spoke C26, incidentally, is CEC's first directional wheel. All three are available in diameters of 20 to 22 inches and widths from 9 to 12 inches. They also come with standard, concave, or deep concave center profiles. From $1,899.

HRE Classic
For all those people with excellent taste who hanker after the older designs of HRE wheels (not that the contemporary styles are too shabby), the company has just launched its Classic line of three-piece and monoblok rims. There's the 300/300M mesh, 301/301M split 9-spoke, 303/303M 13-spoke, 305/305M 5-spoke, and the 309/309M 19-spoke. Diameters go from 18 to 22 inches; widths range from 8 to 13 inches. But the good thing is that they can still meet modern demands, and the simplicity of design means the Classic line can be offered at lower prices than regular HRE wheels. Each one is built to order, and HRE says there are "nearly infinite" options of fitment, color, and finish options. From $1,400.
