Rennen Forged Wheels Stuns The Project Car Market By Dropping New Directional Rl-51 Wheels On Bmw I8

ONTARIO, Calif. - May 29, 2015 - PRLog -- Rennen Forged, a leading manufacturer of high-quality, performance-oriented automotive wheels, continues its legacy of collaborating with leading aftermarket entities and supercar manufacturers to create high-profile project vehicles. The company’s latest foray into this market fuses its new directional RL-51wheels with a stunning BMW i8, giving the already formidable-looking plug-in hybrid an even more aggressive stance courtesy of an offset upgrade from 20 x 7.5 in the front and 20 x 8.5 in the rear to 22 x 9 in the front and 22 x 10.5 in the rear. The sexy rim set adds visual flair to the long wheelbase, short overhangs, precise lines and sweeping silhouette that makes the i8 appear to be moving even when standing still.

Already using the BMW’s head-turning looks as a jumping off point, Rennen designers color-matched the RL-51s to thei8’s accents. Under the sleek, stylish hood, a turbocharged three-cylinder engine couples with dual electric motors for a combined 357 blistering horsepower and a top speed of 155 miles-per-hour. Boasting scissor doors, a shark-nose grille and aforementioned supercar stance courtesy of the upgraded Rennen wheels and offset patterns, the i8 plug-in hybrid has transformed into a truly revolutionary vehicle.

All Rennen Forged wheels are made in the United States and begin with 6061-T6 forged aluminum, a material used for aerospace manufacturing. This approach allows the wheels to exhibit lightweight characteristics without compromising strength, ultimately giving Rennen Forged a significant advantage over similarly-designed rims and their original manufacturers.
