Paris 2012: BMW i8 Spyder Concept
BIMMERPOST NEWS Paris 2012: BMW i8 Spyder Concept The 2012 Concept Vehicle of the Year Award winner, the electric hybrid BMW i8 Spyder Concept [Official Info Thread], made its first auto show appearance since its world premiere at the Beijing auto show in April. This was our first look at the i8 Spyder in person and I found it even more impressive and eye catching than the coupe version. We previously put together a photo comparison you can see to form your opinion. Vital Stats

What style wheels does the i8 have, will it be possible to purchase them and is it possible to find out how much they weigh?

Are you asking about purchasing the wheels to put on a current production model BMW? The wheels on the i8 concepts are specifically designed for those concepts as they are large in diameter but very narrow for less rolling resistance. So no, those exact wheels wouldn't fit any other BMW model.

You could try looking for a set of wheels from the 1 series ActiveE. They're similar to those of the i8.

I believe so, though I'm not sure if that extends to the wheels as well. I know some people have sourced ActiveE hoods to put on their 1M's.
