Sorry for all of the questions, but I am curious.
Anyone?

Our apologies...

We had this info listed in another thread and are putting these details on our site (Smart Madness Home Page) as I type.

The wheels come as a set. The sets includes 17" 7.5 Wheels, Yokohama S-Drive Tires (215/35/17 for the front and 225/35/17 for the rears, Hub Centric Adapters, bolts and wheel locks. The wheels and tires will also ship mounted and balanced for easy installation directly from our supplier.

We now have 4 different sets available. We also have the option for 16" 7.5 wheels and matching tires for $100 less per set.

We have new pics to show the wheels and tires mounted and will have those up shortly.

Thank you.... :-)

I will take one of the $100 sets!

PS - I'm sure you meant $1000 a set.

Wow, I never imagined someone would spend that much on a set of rims... but still, they're really nice.


For the record, I also couldn't understand people who took a stock Honda Civic, stripped it and put 20k into engine and appearance mods. I'm starting to see the light. Maybe when I get that million dollar check I'll do the same.

Thanks!

Our vendor provides this set to our customers and we do not have the offset information available. Sorry...

They spent a lot of time doing many trial and error fittings in order to get the right wheel sizes and offsets for the Smart and probably want to keep that info for themselves.

What we can tell you is that they fit and look right on the car based on our own experience with having the Momo package on our car.

I fully agree with you. We just don't have that info for these wheels, but we'll go ahead and send that request to the vendor and see what they say. If they give it to us, then we will post it.
