It's gotta be red/black/red with either red or black wheels (can't decide which color wheels would look best)

IMO the car looks best when it is all one color. Not with the contrasting safety cell color. the only way to achieve this is all silver or all black.
Unless you want to have the whole thing painted. Which I may do someday.
I am thinking kandy orange or kandy green. With lambo doors and chrome 17s.

But, I got all black, I mean ALL black.
I was either going to get ALL black or black with silver cell cabrio, I've seen both of them and they both look sharp in person, but I decided to the silver cell because that way I can actually say I got every options...jk, no actually I decided I liked the silver accent better but not by much.

I think if they offered leather in another color other than black then I might have gone with a different color interior but Smart isn't spoiling us with luxury with these options...leather with heated seats...the rest of the options to me should be standard.

I emailed the cars with all the different color schemes and nobody agreed on liking the same color combo and I've given people the pamplet as well...so to each their own. I wish they had a real red through and more color options...some higher end stuff to really trick it out, but I guess that comes after-market or later. And no, I'm not talking fabric protection/wheel/tire warranty and lojack. Just in case I need to be O.J., I only want my own personal GPS devices installed.

Mine is Blk/Slvr/Red and although I wasn't planning on this combination before, I got an orphan and now I love the colors. The red interior has a sophistication to it combined with the Black car, and the silver cell just gives the car a little personality. Just my opinion...

lol, that's too funny...the "well your wrong" part...haha, my little survey of a dozen people or so really shocked me that people had so many different likes for the color...how anyone loves yellow is beyond me but apparently people do.

17" wheels...so I guess people are putting these on. I always put bigger wheels on my car...not so big that they look custom but big enough to where it could be custom or factory. So I guess the wheel wells will fit a 17" wheel without any problem...I may get either 16s or 17s to put on it. I always have two sets of wheels for my vehicles (snow tires...don't really need snows most of the time, but it makes me feel better) and this rear wheel light car will likely need them far more than my heavy vehicles.

Basically, my personal preference is to make the car looks its best without too much attention, because attention around here means it's going to get jacked up...and even if you have a garage, you still are going to park it on public streets...or at least if you have a social life. Mines not the best these days but I know my luck with thieves and alarm systems are a joke even with paging but then again I'll have an alarm on it as a layer of protection.

Although I don't really understand why the silver costs $175 more...metallic I suppose, but is paint with metallic really that expensive...it can't use more than a pint of paint, so I did think about getting all black just for the annoyance factor of $175 for an option that few are going to car about in resale and I really can take it or leave it, but what the heck...now I have every option.

I have a passion white/silver with red interior. Just reserved a cabrio could not decide between silver/silver or black/black with red interior. Slightly liked the silver combo more, but finally decided on black/black for practical reasons: 1. $400 cheaper 2. Scratches don't show because the panels are black.

Scratches are one part, but with black you will probably be washing the car more if you like it sharp, and if you have hot summers, it's a hotter car. But black does look good.
