Mesh style wheels?

Hi everyone, just wondering if there are any mesh-type wheels out there for smart fortwo cars? I would consider buying one if I could find a set of wheels similar to these below, work vsxx. Please post pictures and/or links to websites if you know of any.

Thx / Daniel

Edit - it wont let me attach images since I do not have enough posts, google image work vs xx

I too would like a set of mesh-style wheels for my smart. I would love to see BBS make a set for the smart. There is a red smart in the wheel and tire gallery that has a mesh- style wheel that I'd love to find.

I emailed BBS and asked if anything was in the works for the Smart. Michael Cox from BBS in Calif. said I was the first to ask about them which surprised him so if anybody is interested in letting BBS know of your interest email Michael at michael.cox@bbs-usa.com
I've always had real good results using BBS rims and think they would be perfect for the smart.

I would be interested in the BBS LM's if they custom made a 3-lug rim. Here's the LM on a 450 with adapters

Amen, brother! Been there and don't want to do it again. Save those used tooth brushes. Nice look for a show car, though.

oh yeah! I had the VS-XX's on my other car, and it took me 20 minutes just to clean the rims. I'm now running split 5-spokes
