Chrome wheel nut covers
The exposed wheel nuts looked unfinished so I searched for chrome nut covers to fit. Not as easy to find as I thought but here's what they look like.

The covers I found, 5/8", are not an exact fit so I used a bit of poster "stickum" to make sure they'd stay put. Still searching for a better solution.

Pictures won't load in my post so I also posted them in the tires & wheels gallery at http://www.smartcarofamerica.com/gal...hp?i=1652&c=29

I went to their site but couldn't find anything listed for the smart. Do you have a specific link/recommendation? Thanks.

They're not listed by vehicle. You need m12 x 1.5 bolts. Not sure of the length.
