Death Star theme. Gets gold wheels :

It would look so much better with black wheels and red hardware, or just red wheels. But that's my opinion. If you really love it how it is, enjoy it!

The wrap and color scheme is awesome. Be great if you could smoke the front lights to represent the Vader mask eyes... not legal though! Mostly agree with the wheels comments slough they stand out!

You're luck to have the i8 and the Lambo - nice garage!

Maybe some different wheels would look better. Those are yucky.

If I was 18, I would dig it man, maybe 19, or twenty. It's very 88mph!!!! Which is oddly cool. Problem being it doesn't fly.

This just reminded me why I hate Vossen wheels. Car looks cool aside from that. Nice editing on the pro shots too.

I LOVE IT. I must admit, like most here, at first I was not liking the wheels...BUT when I stopped judging and took another look, yes still different, however I realized it looks really good! Might not be what I would do, but I think it suits the car and the mods. Very well done.

And if I may ask, what program did you use to edit the photos? My wife just started learning about photography and we need to buy a program for editing. Thanks in advance!

ps. performance is obviously way better in the lambo, BUT that i8 looks sexier, especially the way you modded the car.

I want to use a Jedi mind trick on you about those wheels.

Concept is very good and the color of the wrap and its execution is so much win but those gold rim lost me.

And you should tell people "You don't know the power of the dark side."

Reminds me more of the 2006 "Fast" GTI figurine instead of Darth Vader.

Love it. Maybe black wheels or black satin wheels with red outer lips? The gold is a little tough epically since they are flat faced.

It's all subjective I do like the overall effect.

Thumb up.

This post makes me think of a pic a friend showed me.

People in California drive 20k, s--t boxes, and live in 1mil dollar shacks.

The rest of the nation lives in 300k mansions, and drive super cars.

I'm jealous, that is the most awesome i8 I've seen.

Looks incredible! That color combination really shows off the lines and angles of the i8. Plus those wheels just look sharp as fuck against the satin black.
