 Is there anyway to use the -i command with rsync and ssh?  Thank you.

In addition to what Martin suggested, you can also include the -i option
and its argument in rsync's -e option argument:

rsync {options} -e 'ssh -i /path/to/identity' {source} {dest}

I use this form quite frequently in scripts.

Use the IdentityFile and Host keywords in your ssh_config:

  Host suzy-alt-key
  HostName suzy.foo.org
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_some_other_dsa
