BMW i8 on Custom ADV1 Wheels

We have already seen the BMW i8 hybrid sports car on a number of high-end aftermarket wheels such as Forgiato and HRE Wheels. Those were cool, no doubt, but some the i8 didn’t lend itself totally to the treatment. That is so not the case with this ADV1-equipped i8.

This is, of course, a custom treatment in terms of fit and finish. The ADV15 Track Spec SL Series Directional wheels chosen for the BMW i8 measure 22×9 inch on the front axle and 22×10 inch on the rear, which is the perfect size for the car’s shapely body.

As for the paint finish, the discs features a cool matte gunmetal, while the lips are custom polished matte Peek-a-Blue, matching the stock blue accents that come with the car on the front grille, its bumpers, and the interior. The rims are wrapped with Pirelli PZero Nero tyres in sizes 245/30/22 front and 285/25/22 rear.
