@@mariuslaspaas Thx. I use the Bridgestone S001 from BMW i8 on my i3s (hillclimb, rally, trackday, etc.). But the problem is still the power limitation.

can you share what spacers brand, sizes and what rims times to achieve that look, I don't care about range just fed up with OEM expensive tires. That spoiler looks sick!
If you order the wheels correctly from imagewheels you dont need spacers. It's just to correct the offset. These tires are not so much cheaper. At least the front ones are pricey since it's only for bmw i8. Also the custom 3 piece wheels are a bit expensive.
Great looking car, the rim sizes you state; are those the sizes you had to fit spacers or is it without spacers?, where did you get the front/rear spoilers and and side skirts from. Thanks.
Its 8x20 with 245.40.20 rear and 6.5x20 with 215.45.20 front The wheels are quite expensive since they are custom 3 piece wheels built for the car. About 2500-3000 usd not including tires.
What did you do to the rear bmw emblem? Looks almost like just a large, uninterrupted glass panel. I assumed there would be obvious holes behind the badge, no?
The emblem is just glued on. I just took it off and replaced it with a sticker. And also under the emblem it's missing the black color. So I hadd to paint a small are on the inside of the glass.
@@mariuslaspaas thanks for the info. Definitely interested in doing the same. Just one last question. Is there an actual hole through the glass behind the emblem?
No. The glas don't have any holes. It's just double sided tape. If you remove the badge, I would recommend start by putting tape around the emblem. This way you know where to put it back if you regret. 😊
@@mariuslaspaas Looks lowered but maybe a larger diameter tire can make the same effect, looks very nice. I would be very grateful if you can help me with this, only you can :P I planing put in front 20x6 ET39 (with 195 tire) and you have 20x6.5 ET26 with 3mm spacer, so my setup is 10mm closer to the inside (If I haven't miscalculated). So you think i would need too the 10mm spacer for avoid issues? but my tire is narrower...if that was the problem. If you not sure i would put the second option 195 in 20x5.5" instead of 6"
If you see a drop in roof and a flat or inclined spoiler, it add downforce, but on the rear wheel it adds little leverage, it would apply being further back from the rear wheel, anyway I don't know if the fixation is solid (owner opinion?) because I think it goes with 3M tape. For design is very nice.

Yes. 215 front and 245 rear
Great looking car, the rim sizes you state; are those the sizes you had to fit spacers or is it without spacers?, where did you get the front/rear spoilers and and side skirts from. Thanks.
Thanks. It depends where did you read the sizes? 😊
The styling parts are from Jcsportline 😊
@@mariuslaspaas Thanks, What do you think the ideal offsets would be to fit the I3S.
@@blackjackpershing7749 It depends on what your width of tires and wheels are.
Looks good
Thank you
Love it
are these full size wheels? If so how does it effect battery life for you?
They did affect it some. But not that much.
Love the rims. What are they and did you have to add spacers?
They are imagewheels. Yes unfortunately I have som small spacers because I misscalculated the offset a bit.
Can you provide some details about the wheel specs? The video is well shot but as an i3 owner it would be nice to know the cost, the offset etc

Sorry late reply. The wing is from jcsportline. The wheels are mentioned in another comment here. 6.5x20 and 8x20

You should drift it while it looks this hard since it’s highly possible.
It's possible to drift it. But the wheels are to expensive to waste 😂
@@mariuslaspaas It’s cause the tires are skinny huh? What size are they?
They are 245.40.20
@@mariuslaspaas Yeah might be around 100 bucks a tire or you can always wait for some rain or better yet some snow 👌 either way it’s a clean build 🤝
@@DemarcusQ They are arround 350usd a tire. I rather use my e46 or my volvo 940 for spinning. They are build for it :)
Would you mind to let me know about the offset? You are using the official one or you modified the car so you used another offset?
It's all custom. I have written it in another comment
What‘s your average consuption (in city & on highway) vs. the vanilla i3?
About 15-15.5kWh on highway driving in summer I think. City I dont know. Stock I think the car is about 14kWh on Highway.
What kind of wheels are those, and how did u get then on without rubbing
They are imagewheels custom 3 piece wheels. They don't rub anywhere.
Sheeeeeeshh
Does the spoiler have an aerodynamic effect? Or just design?
It's just for the design 😊
If you see a drop in roof and a flat or inclined spoiler, it add downforce, but on the rear wheel it adds little leverage, it would apply being further back from the rear wheel, anyway I don't know if the fixation is solid (owner opinion?) because I think it goes with 3M tape.
For design is very nice.

If I were going to buy rims what offset would I need to get to not have wheel spacer and would it be possible to get 19s or I need to get 20s.
Depends on how wide your wheels and tires are going to be. No problem with 19s if you find the right tire sizes
@@mariuslaspaas I just want something that would not rub and work fine. 18s or 19s would be perfect.
18s i don't think fit the i3 due to the suspension components. You could use stock 19 og 20 from the i3s?

No. They will stick quite much outside the fenders I'm afraid.

Yes it did affect it some. But not that much. I loose more range during the winter with the small stock tires.
