German wheel manufacturers, ICW, have released an all-new design exclusively for selected Porsche models. The twin-five-spoke design, dubbed the i-BI, was inspired by dynamism and power, and is meant to evoke what ICW calls “optical sophistication”. Whatever that may be, one thing is for certain, they look a lot like the current GT3 wheel – with a bit more menace. The wheels themselves are milled from a single block of billet Aluminum making them strong and lightweight – two of the most functional aspects of a performance wheel. Fitment does require the use of high-tensile adapters to get the deep dish look without the nasty rubbing that can sometimes occur. Applications include the Porsche Boxster, Cayman, 911, or Panamera and will shortly include the Audi R8 and others. Customers have the choice of 18 or 19 inch options, in either hyper silver or matte black. Pricing starts from €244 per corner which is really not bad considering other options for these cars start at around the €300 mark.
Wow! Those rims are extremely gorgeous. And yeah, it looks like the wheel of GT3. I just wonder what does twin-five-spoke design have that others wheels don’t?
The Panamera was the 3rd best selling luxury vehicle over here in Germany in July which is an amazing achievement. And
IMHO Porsche wouldn’t have achieved that if the rear seats wouldn’t offer proper space unlike the Rapide.
