Ace Alloy AFF02

Why?

A set of Ace Alloy AFF02 rims are perfect for anyone looking to enhance their C8´s looks, without being over the or outlandish to any degree. These particular rims consist of a 5 split-spoke design that is quite striking, and naturally complimentary to the C8´s inherent design. For most, this wheel would likely prove to be equal parts form and overall function.

Like a number of other rims detailed on this list, the Ace Alloy AFF02 is manufactured using a flow-forming technology. This proves superior in most cases, as manufacturing practices of this type yield a rim that is extremely strong and resistant to damage, yet far more lightweight than many other rims of similar dimensions. The AFF02 also comes in a number of individual finishes, including Gloss Black, Black Chrome, and Gloss Piano Black.
