BMW i8 is one of the most economical sports cars in the world that has started production in 2014 in Leipzig, Germany. It is a 2-door coupe powered by 2 engines, namely 1.5l turbocharged gasoline with a power of 228 hp, respectively the syncronous electric motor powering 129 hp, both having a total output of 357 hp.

BMW’s supercar sprints in just 4.4 seconds from 0 to 100km/h with the both engines actively and having a maximum speed of 250km/h, or 4.5 seconds from 0 to 60km/h on its electric motor. If you just use the electric motor you will have a top speed of 120km/h.

The BMW i8 has a consumption combined of 2.1L and a maximum total range of 600 km.

In this article the BMW i8 is fitted with the beautiful wheels from ADV.1, namely ADV15 Track Spec SL Series Directional wheels that are finished in custom polished matte Peek-a-Blue (for lips) and custom polished Matte Gunmetal (for discs).

The wheels use Pirelli PZero Nero tyres that have dimensions of 245/30/22 on the front, respectively 285/25/22 on the rear to make its overall stability and performance better. The ADV15 rims are 22″ inch and 9J front and 22″ inch and 10,5J rear.

Per overall, as you well know, the BMW i8 has an outstanding design and performance, but by adding these new ADV.1 Wheels from the Wheels Boutique we can surely say that the final look was improved a lot.

Which is your opinion about these wheels and the overall look of the BMW i8?

So it comes as no surprise that the guys at Wheels Boutique decided to consider the M3E92 their next viable project for the season. It might be a commonly seen car but it is by no means a monotonous or forgettable experience.

So what does the Wheels Boutique M3 E92 have that we don’t see that often on other renditions of the same model. For starters it has a cool, golden set of custom HRE rims and a front and rear carbon lip to go with the style imposed by the rims and car itself. The result is amazing.

Some of you might see the gold as eye candy, some might not. One thing is certain, the contrast between the rims and the BMW M3 E92’s alpine white paintjob is quite pleasing and without a doubt not kitschy.

The engine remains unchanged. The BMW M3 E92’s S65 V8 engine needs no adjustments to keep up with the style changes. 414HP is more than enough to get those custom HRE rims spinning and the car itself going for miles and miles.

The guys at Wheels Boutque obviously thought otherwise and decided to show us how much more stylish the i8 could be with an ideal set of rims in collaboration with all sorts of trims and finishes BMW did not pay much attention to.

The HRE P101 are the center of the masterpiece, being the only swapped element on the car, but which greatly contributes to the overall new image. The rims themselves are made out of a light but durable metal which in comparison to the manufacturer fitted version seem to work much better overall with the vehicle per se.

In addition to the wheels, the Wheels Boutique version of the BMW i8 has been painted in a dark matte tone with trims sporting the same color as the rims, heavily contrasting and bringing into view the car’s contour and general futuristic design.

The BMW i8, even though a hybrid, can achieve an impressive 4.4 sec time when bursting from 0 to 100km/h and that while reducing emissions to a generally minuscule 49 g/km. No need to add the fact that technically speaking the car doesn’t need any further upgrades. The BMW i8 is a perfectly balanced car and will remain that way due to its style and performance.

It’s definitely not easy to accept this idea, given the way more than interesting results turn up when such ideas come to life on a car.

Or rather, when they do so on our favorite kind of car, the F10 BMW M5. The team-up is between Hamann, ADV and Wheels Boutique.

Two wheel related names isn’t usually something smart to have on a single car, the results look either disastrous or have practical reasons in sports like drifting.

Here, Wheels Boutique have played more of an administrative role in making sure this project keeps on happening to completion.

Falling apart at the seams halfway through is probably not the best marketing slogan in the world. So here’s what each of them chipped in with.

ADV threw in some ADV7 Deep Concave forged alloy wheels, 21 inch sized ones, you know, for good measure. These new rollers are hooked up to a lowered HR suspension kit and run tires of 265 thread, 325 respectively.

Hamann on the other hand came up with the new body kit, make that a stunning new body kit. It stands out yet it builds upon the design of the standard car.

New bumpers, skirts, a set of LED daytime running lights at the front and a nicely proportioned wing at the back finish off the product.

After all these changes a few small mods regarding the color of the grilles, the side view mirrors, the badges, vents and the smoked taillights really highlight the white paint of the car.
