Personally, I prefer the wheels that come on the stock Passion, polished and chromed. See my gallery...

I'm not sure, have you checked with the SCOA vendors? Good luck on your search!

On a coolness scale of 1-10 those rims are about a 3 there are much cooler rims out there. I have to agree with BurtandNancy on this one, I like the rims that come stock better. In this case different isn't bettter.....

To each his own. I detest chrome and black rims and while I like the stock rims, I like these a little bit more.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Having said that, I would much rather have the Pulse rims than the stock rims or some of the gaudy 'ricer' aftermarket stuff. The Pulse rims are visually clean and elegant on the smart and probably 10x easier to clean than the US stock rims. Somehow I bet the stock rims we get are cheaper to make...

After Christmas I'm having my front and back rims powdercoated to match the panel colors on my Dory. Here's a Photoshop of what she'll look like (car color is correct -- I only Photoshopped the rims so I could prove to my husband that it would look cool and not stupid ).

Janet, wouldn't it look better if you had the yellow wheels in the front and the blue ones in the rear?
