They aren't bad. But having seen many people try, it looks like the i8 is really difficult to find good looking wheels for. I really haven't seen anything yet that matches the car's design language. The stock wheels aren't the greatest, either, but still the best match overall, IMHO.

Not bad for after market wheels. Still prefer the original turbines though.

I like skinny wheels on the i8 / i3. They suit these car's ethos so well.

For me, big fat wheels are a bit like big watches: they were cool in 2010, less so now.
