No it but it does have a whole car crumple zone.

Sorry, I was not trying to post 3 times. Not sure why I would want to post 3 times. I did not realize there were 13 pages of responses. Sorry I messed the answer I was looking for before I found it myself. I won't bother you anymore.

Don't be sorry. Sometimes when someone new comes here and they don't have much on their information the regulars can be a little leery as a LOT of spammers come to this forum that way.

There are a few reasons to get 3 posts, the main one is you can post pictures after 3 posts. Not sure if you came into the new members section but if you aren't a spammer then that would be a good place to start, that is how most of the newbies earn the trust of the regulars. Everyone is scared of spammers these days.

It looks a lot like the rim on my son's Gran Prix...

Oh...so you're comparing it to a "BIGGER" car then the Smart, well if you can still see the "Gran Prix" which is made out of metal....... I can only image the Smartcar....really it would be only an image in your head......because that thing would turn into dust! Yeah the smart is better
They are cute though.....awww...ouch!

It wasn't a Smart

I know that this is an old picture but have you ever checked mini-cooper's web site...one of their models have wheels like the one in the picture.
