Just got my Genius Wheels

[sato7]

I got mine localy at the Discount Tire store. They fit the old rubber and balanced them for free. Took them less than a week to get the rims in and had me out the door in a little over an hour. I whent with the 15x6.5s all around in all black.

By the way the 15x6.5s are a pound lighter than the rear OEMs....... EACH!

Those wheels look awesome! I gotta have 'em!!! Which brand tires did you go with? I am very partial to Toyo Proxes, which I have had on my ORR Vette for the last 7 years (now second set).

If you are planning to go with the 15" version your stock tires will work. If you are planning to upgrade to the 17" version we use the Yokohama S-Drive tires (195/40-17 front and 225/35-17 in the rear).

If you are in the market we have both in stock and as always guarantee the lowest price.

Check out our wheel section for the widest selection of smart car wheels in stock anywhere.

Thank you

I'll call you in the morning. I assume you are in CA? I may be able to do thius if I can work a deal for my original wheels/and/or tires. I would like the 17" so will be looking for a package.

I've had my all black Genius 17's on my smartie for about 2 weeks now.

Sorry, I have to post 1 more time before I can add links to my photos.

I like the looks of the all black wheels on the white panels with black tridon.

Got the wheels from Smart Madness and the tires from the local Discount Tires.

The Yokohamas handle great on mine. Much more stable in cross winds at highway speeds. And the 225/35R-17's on the rear made my speedo read correctly. GPS and ScanMaster II speed was 3 to 4 mph slower than the speedometer.
Now I've to paint those ugly gray brake drums... 8^)

Overall I love the way they ride, and especially the looks, I love the deep dish looks.

dlroto, just a couple of questions if you have a minute...what tire pressures are you running? What TPMS did you go with? I have bought the Orange Electronics TPMS. It is good to know the highway stability will improve. Have you noticed any delta on MPG? I lost about 2 MPG with the 2.0 update.
