I found 17" chrome wheels for $263 ea, not $600 each like Lorinser Speedys!

that would be stupid to pay $600 for one 17" rim!

If you get some 3to5 stud convertors you can fit a load of cheap alloy wheels.

LOL

TSW Kyalamis...

You're right, they're cheap.

Here's the TSW site: TSW Alloy Wheels - Custom Staggered Wheels

Didn't see any wheels for smart in their brand selector; maybe the photo above is showing wheels mounted with an adapter.

I guess cheap is a relative term; the TSW group makes marque specific wheels for Land Rover, Jag, BMW and Corvette (Cray wheels), to name a few.

You need to learn to use the search function on this site.

Yes they are TSW's.

Apparently they are the only wheel made in blanks, so they can be custom drilled. Spacers are required to make them fit properly I guess.

They make them in ET25, I don't know why you would need spacers.

I'd be leery of cheap imitations. Remember, you get what you pay for.

Take care,
