just got my new rims and tires on this weekend.
went with tire rack sm3 16" 7.5 on all for corners and bf goodwrench gforce 205 40 16 tires, and h+r springs.
have to say totally diferent ride.
no wind buffeting , no power loss or at least none that i can tell.
i even managed to go 1/4 mile on highway with no hands on the wheel very stable. well worth the sub 1k i spent =)

yeah i know the the sport editions are pretty cheap rims compared to the nice stuff they have on smartmadness but i just like the 3 spoke rims . so shoot me =P
im sure to have a mpg loss ill keep you posted im currently going threw my first tank with this setup.

Tire/wheel mods

Hello David,
I'm just now getting to the point of replacing my OEM tires and since you've "been there -done that" some time ago, I was wondering if we could talk. I'm in the east bay now and would love to see/compare my stock to your modified.

This is an 08 thread; unlikely David is still out there (but you never know.) Lots of other folks have switched wheels & tires: smart Wheels & Tires - Smart Car of America Forums : Smart Car Forum

And welcome to SCoA!
