I wish RIAL would make them 16" for our cars. RIAL website makes these LeMans wheels up to 19" in diameter but I think and extra inch would look nice and still have a comfortable ride. I hate to spend $1200 for the same diameter tire, even though it increases tire patch an extra inch in the front.

I'm with you C&C. The 16" wheels give a much wider tire selection too.

Just went to Discount tire, They were getting SM3 'Those Color insert Wheels". Stopped order, and got the LeMans 15"x6 Don't make 16" Very Sorry for the error. They screwed up, good thing I checked this morning.Here the re-order:

1. 4ea 15x6 Rial 3-20 LeMans Sport @ $140.00ea.= $560.
2. 4ea 205/50R-15 86H BSW KUMO ECSTA AST @ $73. ea=$292

Thats the plan!!! p1nball

p1nball - I really like the Rial LeMans wheels. Bought one with a tire as a spare. I wish they made a 16" wheel in that style, I'd buy five right now!!

I also agree, I was so P$ssed that they had ordered the wrong wheels!! I was glad to stop it and get the LeMans only in 15" But the do made the car look SWEET. The have put them on a few upfitted ophans, here in CLT. For a look go to my post LINK New Colours For Orphans c/o So CLT Smart
They do change the Smart to look Smarter!!
Will post the pix's when they get mounted on the car.

PS My luck they will have 16' after I get them!!!!

What make, and price if you can. Saw your post and the wheels on your red Smart. Looking fine.
