    Will i3s wheels fit an i3 as the offsets seem to be the major difference

    Thanks all, I’d say that they probably would bolt on fine based on the fact people are using spacers and getting away with that. (Spacers are illegal in most if not all states of Australia) I had a ok at the mudguards (fenders for us!) and I think they there is enough clearance not to protrude...

    Will i3s wheels fit an i3 as the offsets seem to be the major difference

    Had a look at the new i3s and wondering if the i3s wheels would bolt on to an i3? I think they would. The i3 wheels are 155/70R19 on a 5Jx19 rim with a 43mm offset from the outside of the rim.(ET43) or for the 20’s - 155/60R20 on a 5Jx20 rim with the same 43mm offset The i3s wheels are...

    Timber dash starting to degrade and finish is cracking.

    Ive given my i3 three coats and the smell only lasted a day and it was didn't really smell much.. It was more the 24 hours for the oil to soak in so the stickiness went away. Looks great now so highly recommend.

    Timber dash starting to degrade and finish is cracking.

    Oiled the dash last night with teak oil and its a definite improvement. It's got rid of that dull weathered looked so thanks for that tip. I think it needs another 1 or 2 more goes and it will look like new. Probably something that most i3's need from time to time, especially light coloured...

    Timber dash starting to degrade and finish is cracking.

    The timber dash is starting to show signs of sun damage as the protective cover (doesn't look like a sealant such as polyurethane sealer) is starting to crack. Is there anything you can oil or wax the dash to help protect it. A dash mat would also be good to protect it but I haven't been able...

    Noise in RHS back (suicide) door when hot.

    When the i3 is left out on a hot day I get a noise like a fan blade rubbing on something. If I press down on the trim on the window sill of the RHS (driver side in Australia) suicide door the noise changes or goes away until I stop pressing down It seems to be related to the windows being up as...
