smart fourtwo passion tires and wheels

Complete set, perfect condition. Less than 500 miles on them. Located in AZ. Great inexpensive upgrade to a pure model.

Asking $600 (plus shipping if applicable) for the set. If I get no takers here, they'll be up on eBay in a few days.

Oh, forgot to mention they don't have the sensors. Also, if you are interested let me know what zip code they'd be shipped to so I can get you a proper shipping quote.

Cheers.

Sensors are $72 each from Tire Rack and a set may be less.

I don't know yet, Tire Rack looked up their set on their listing and sent me two, they just arrived today, but the rims won't be finished at the powder painter for a couple weeks so right now I can't answer.

What I can say is that the parts I received from Tire Rack come in two emvelopes. One envelope is labeled A 002 540 90 17 and Made in United Kingdom Damiler ChryslerAG and have the "Schrader Electronics" sticker on each one, just like the ones in my wheels are. The second bag is a "Nut, Wheel" #4250A226 and is labeled Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Parts and has the outer seal molded in. I know I get my tires/wheels mounted and balanced at WalMart and they charge $4 for reinstalling new seals on TPS installations, but don't have a listing for the smart application.

So I will let you know in a few weeks. BTW, the new Michelins look great, a little more agressive than the Conti's and I can feel a much more flexible band so I am expecting that "luxury" ride real soon.

Jim,

Sorry for the delay, I've been traveling. The tires are 185/60-15, which is 1" larger diameter or 4% greater circumference. The rims are a new pair of fronts and all four are being done in white to color match the body. I liked the look of the Mercedes smart. Don't know about the ride yet, been traveling. I should in a week or so and will post.
