Vorsteiner | i8 Bespoke on All Aspects Forged



Vorsteiner | i8 Bespoke Forged Wheels + VR-E Carbon Fiber Aero Program

The BMW i8 shocked the world when they created a beautiful work of art on an electric platform. They mastered what I'm sure what Fisker intended with their Karma and almost created a new genre of Exotic Sports Styling driving experience. This sophisto grey model is an example that checked all the boxes to be a identified as Full Bespoke Level build. Bespoked Forged 22" VFN 502 Wheels in our Brush Tinted Finish wrapped in Pirelli P Zero rubber, lowered on H&R Sport Springs c/o Affiliate Partners, European Auto Source, and Full Carbon Fiber VR-E Aero Treatment.

If you have any questions or inquires regarding the VR-E or Bespoke Forged wheels, please feel free to contact us @ support@vorsteiner.com

That's the best-looking set of wheels from you guys yet.

What would it look like on stock shocks & springs? I don't want my car any lower - too much ground scraping.

Don't think I've posted pics of my setup yet. Full Vorsteiner VR-E Aero and Forged wheels (22' VSE-301). I could not be any happier with the way the car sits. I know it might be a bit too aggressive for most folks, different strokes for different folks. I do wish vorsteiner released those carbon side splitters in the original render though ha.

Nice, but wouldn't last a week on the streets where I live. The 22s would get destroyed by the potholes and the lowered front end would get damaged going out of driveways.

Does the little spoiler in the back do anything or is it entirely cosmetic?

Yea, I live in NYC. Our roads arent the greatest either. Not sure but I would say its aesthetics over anything else. Maybe Vorsteiner can answer that for you.

H&R Springs.

The ride isn't harsh at all (even with the 22's). I've ran coils on all my previous cars and this is def. comparable (if not smoother).
