20" RADI8 R8CM9 Dark Myst Custom Wheel Setup

20x8.5j front with 245/40/R20 ET42 (7mm spacer to flush)
20x10J rear with 275/35/R20 ET42 (3mm backpad shave)

lowered on H&R.
custom frozen blue rim stripe.

perfect fitment, no rubs even on big bumps.
front wheel is 1.1kg heavier and rear wheel is 1.8kg heavier then factory wheels, but I belive with the non runflat tires will be about the same as stock.

with new Kumho Ecsta tires front and rear, everything came under 2000 euro !

I'll take better pics once it's clean and with better light

Looks like these wheels could be stock in 2030. Pretty cool

mmmm think I'd prefer them with some silver so you could see the detail but think I like - bat-shit crazy as mightmouse says, just like the i8 itself

Most aftermarket wheels don't work for me, they look too....normal!

Nice that you can reuse the center caps. Unlike my Vorsteiners

What make is the rim strip, where did you get it from? Looks cool and practical, but those wheels are frankly awesome and a great price too!

I like the blue ring. Less is more. Interesting wheel design.

Could you not get the offset needed to avoid spacers?

Nope they only come in ET42 .
7mm is not a lot tough.
For it to clear the suspension only 2-3mm were needed or a smaller tire like 235, but I like the flush effect
