In the back you can have a little concavity as you can see but the space is also limited.
You can run up to 285 tires in the back but that would make no sense at all besides creating drag.
The car comes with understeer from the factory and with 245 fronts and 255 rears it's nicely balanced.

I'm not planning on adding spoilers or any other items that would alter the aerodynamics, I don't want want to run into to guy that spent too many hours in the windtunnel with this car.

didn't know that, that's a shame as concave wheels would look perfect on this car. still, the car looks very very cool. the frozen yellow compliments the car well and add some flare to its lines.

Wow I just zoned in, and the quality is just horribly cheap.

What a waste.

hellrotm · 02-05-2015, 04:19 PM

Ewww...i8 looks terrible in yellow.

+1

Also the stock i8 wheels were developed in a wind tunnel, they help to achieve the lowest possible air resistance by minimising turbulence around the wheels

We're still working on the wheels, they are Frozen Grey now but I think I will go for gloss black.

Love it!

Imola.ZHP · 02-05-2015, 05:00 PM

Simply stunning.

Thank you for sharing, BMW should consider offering this color.

ChrisMT79 · 02-05-2015, 05:23 PM

I am sorry to say anything negative but honestly the wheels are so (subjectively) inappropriate they appear to visually devalorize the i8's amazing presence. In my humble opinion of course... And the matte color is not suitable for the i8 in any color. It's just not this type of car.

e92ben · 02-05-2015, 05:36 PM

A lot of haters here! Wow. The car looks amazing man! Great job

Generally not fan of bi color theme of i8.
My dealer had all black i8 and it looked stunning!

24601 · 02-05-2015, 07:56 PM

nice. but the wheels ruin it.

farishat · 02-05-2015, 08:12 PM

I don't get the fascination with "frozen" paint. How about Molten?

E90M3JETS · 02-05-2015, 08:25 PM

Not my cup of tea

Kwando · 02-05-2015, 09:06 PM

Is the frozen paint OEM or just a wrap?

Not a fan of ADVs..aren't they insanely heavy? I prefer the OEMs.

biglare · 02-05-2015, 09:22 PM

Not feeling the yellow for some reason?

Mango yellow?

ORIGIN M. · 02-05-2015, 11:35 PM

Wrap. Has a roll in every color.
