A change to 16" wheels & tires really improves the ride

so it can be as inaccurate as the car's estimates....kind of what I thought.

When I seen GiantKillers 17" Spacelines, I knew this was the style of wheels I wanted.

I have the 16" Space Lines ordered and reserved from:
Fog City Performance
Should be in next week, can't wait

Steve Smith said he has a few sets of 16's coming in, maybe 17's, not sure if all these spaceline sets are reserved, he may have extra's, also he mentioned, it is possible the manufacturer may not make or produce these any more, so they could be very limited.

Not sure if I will go with Yoko' tires, looking into Dunlop 8000's

Since I don't have the wheels yet, I found some pics of the spacelines on another Smart 451 black/black.
