During my conversation with the smart Media & PR Head Representative, Daimler France, this morning, I raised the issue: any modification to wheels and/or tires will in effect release smart France and Daimler from its warranty.
He couldn't say about the impact concerning smartUSA and the PAG.

You may want to check out our site under the wheels category. We usually ship out within 24 hours and have the lowest price guarantee. We also do special orders in case there is something you found that we do not keep in stock.

We now carry lowering springs and also offer the lowest price guarantee. We'll even beat Tirerack!

HRE Wheels available

If you want quality HRE are making wheels for the SMART car, no adaptor needed. They are making as set for me.

It is not a Sport if you don't turn left and right, have a Motor and 4 wheels.

I checked the HRE site (assuming it is the same one you are thinking of) but found no mention of the Smart Fortwo in the car list.

They already have made some, just contact them. Ask for Marc Correll. He send me some pictures, they look great and fit well.

I have HRE wheels on all my other cars, they are one of the best wheel you can get. C6 ZO6

I am sure they will update their website soon

Imo, HRE wheels are the nicest wheels you can get for the Smart, but I've heard prices of around $4,000... yikes! Is there any way I can get my hands on new HREs for around $2,500?
