19" and 20" wheels are offered from BMW, my local dealership is split down he middle 50/50 19" and 20" wheels on their in stock, stock i3's.

It looks very nice IMO.

That's actually pretty sick! The only thing I'd add are tints...at least 20% all around.

"18's on a smart car?" You do know the only OEM rims the i3 comes with are 19s or 20s?

jadnashuanh · 11-06-2014, 05:57 PM

The only OEM tires that fit the i3 in 20" are summer performance tires, so keep that in mind if you want the low rolling resistance and handling characteristics. If you need to deal with cold and/or snowy conditions, the only winter tires come in 19". This may change after the i3 sells more and time goes on, but for now, you're limited.

Wow...

That looks shockingly good. Better than most of the stuff at the SEMA show XD

Nah we didn't do it, this was setup by SR Auto Group, just saw it and noticed it wasn't posted so figured you guys would enjoy seeing an i3 look somewhat more appealing

Lol yeah I noticed the SR logo afterwards when I was done drooling. Lol.
You guys will be seeing me soon. Hope all is good over there.

Dog Face Pony Soldier · 11-06-2014, 08:51 PM

Still doesn't look like a car I'd pay $50K for, but anything (like black paint and tinted windows) that hides the i3's odd side window openings helps a ton. Nice work.

nicke92 · 11-06-2014, 09:23 PM

I think the car looks great!
Blend of old and new.

r3dbimmer89 · 11-06-2014, 09:53 PM

Looks good...

jeff@autocouture · 11-06-2014, 10:28 PM

Looks incredible.... I now want an i3 lol

ilya335 · 11-06-2014, 10:36 PM

Is this a BMW color from the factory? The closest I see on BMWUSA is Arravani Grey but that looks full on Black.

I picked up an i3 in Ionic Silver with 20s a few months ago. The car is a ton of fun to drive and gets a ton of attention.

N.S.A · 11-07-2014, 01:33 AM

This looks like a little ricer like a Scion XB :/ SMH

DougLikesBMW · 11-07-2014, 08:23 AM

Surely you guys are joking.

Those wheels look god awful on this. They don't pair well at all.

It's not even a subjective matter. They look objectively bad on the i3.

ontouring · 11-07-2014, 11:17 AM

All the work really brings the i to life. Love it!

The car has been repainted...it is not a factory color option.

Tallest · 11-08-2014, 11:12 AM

Indeed!

Rims remind me of BBS E50 / old mag style wheels.

not a fan of rivets... Might contact Rotiform Wheels beginning of next year to see if what they can do. I'm a big fan of their wheels
