COMMENTS

To most, the BMW i8 already features a highly stylized modern design, but German Special Customs, a designer of aftermarket exteriors and interiors, thinks that they can do better. They've released these renderings of their planned "iTron" kit for the i8.

I think the point of the i8 is to reduce aerodynamic drag as much as possible...but to each his own.

The orange one looks amazing with those rims

wdeerfield · 10-09-2014, 06:04 PM

functional or not, this is great to see the aftermarket is taking the i8 to the next level to let owners individualize them more than just wheels.

Blindside_137 · 10-09-2014, 06:17 PM

Looks like a monster in black. I would totally drive that thing.

AtlantaDude · 10-09-2014, 06:25 PM

Yeah! I love all of them!! I don't care for the size of the rims though. Just a little too large. Other than that, damned awesome!!!

VMRWheels · 10-09-2014, 07:00 PM

WOW.. someone please make this reality. Awesome renderings

Schm · 10-09-2014, 07:05 PM

I'm meh on these renderings, I love the i8 so much and I'm really excited to see what alpina, hamann, longtran or IND pull off with one. I heard (???)that Alpina looked at it but thought it would be too technically challenging.

dhirm5 · 10-09-2014, 07:10 PM

Not gonna lie, I think these look absolutely sick. I'd be all over this if I had an i8.

Diver · 10-09-2014, 07:55 PM

Sometimes I think the i8 has a bit of that exploding knife factory look, but so do Lamborghini's and the Stingray.

GOLFFRR · 10-09-2014, 07:56 PM

the blacked out version wow

NOcastillo · 10-09-2014, 08:08 PM

My vote is for the black one as well. Almost has that futuristic batmobile look.
Maybe they need to use it for the next batman

Car22 · 10-09-2014, 08:50 PM

Saweeet!

ORIGIN M. · 10-09-2014, 09:21 PM

No doubt. Either one... Black or Grey !!

they succeeded! that thing is drop dead sexy

Axman85 · 10-09-2014, 09:31 PM

That's as bad ass as the M1 was when it came out.

Govenator · 10-09-2014, 09:43 PM

Finally! The stock i8 just blends too much with traffic in my area.

I'm placing my order tomorrow. Seriously,though, those look amazing!
