Not disputing that there are some beautiful, lighter-than-stock, well done sets of aftermarket wheels out there... Just saying, this car will need something more than that.
It would be nice to see manufacturers of aftermarket rims embrace this idea, and produce rims that will not decrease the efficiency of the i8 while still looking nice, and of course are lighter, etc.
I look forward to the BMW CFRP rims for the i8 hopefully not too long into the distant future. They would be my first choice for an "aftermarket" wheel for this car.

afteramrket wheels on an i8 - and most bmw imo - would be like Michelangelo "throwing" some cubism on David. Plain wrong.
