TPM sensors do not come with the 17" wheel and tire package. You would have to remove your factory TPM and install on this 17" wheel package.

These Rota wheels were part of a 6 set custom run for the Smart 451. Not sure on the offsets, as they were never provided.

I had the Smart 451 lowered on H&R springs and had ZERO rubbing issues with these wheels.

I'm curious. If you were going to go with a custom wheel, why choose Rota? Too many stories of wheel failures

Rotas are not a custom wheel. For a custom wheel, I would use HRE wheels.

I purchased this set of Rotas simply because they looked closest to the wheels on SMann's demo car. I owned the Smart for 4 months while I was waiting for my next car to be built and delivered. It was something different at the time with fuel prices over $4.00 a gallon.

As far as wheel failures, I remember reading over the internet about a bad batch from the Rota manufacturer years ago. Have you heard of any recent issues?

Unfortunately, I have heard of wheel failures over the internet on HRE as well.

Still interested in any of my custom carbon fiber SMann parts?

^ I guess I got confused by these posts.

No, I'm not interested in the CF anymore. GLWS

A couple of quick questions....

1). Are these Rota wheels hub-centric for the Smart?
2). Do they need spacers for the front wheels?
3). Do they come with lugs...or use original lugs?
4). Are there center caps?
5). Will the original TPM sensors fit these wheels...
6). Any nicks or scratches on the wheels...are they like new...
7). How many miles on wheels/tires...
8). Please PM with lowest price...FYI...these wheels are on eBay today...under Smart accessories for $695 for a new set..

Thanks for your time...
