hello again!
the weather is becoming nicer every day here in good old germany and some of us are getting their new wheels for the summer - me and my girlfriend included.
as i see, you americans are very interestet in other rims on the 451 too. well - now wonder with this small, boring stock-wheels that smart is offering.
to give you a slight look on that, what's possible on the 451, i'm going to post new pics and data of our and some others wheels...
first of all there are of course rims with 3 holes specially made for smart. sadfully they are mostly very expensive and also limited in design and size.
so some tuners are offering "Adaptions-Distanzscheiben" - i don't know, if there is a similar word in englisch so i would call them "Adapter-Plates".
with them you could drive any aftermarket rim with 5 holes - for example rims for vw/audi/mercedes with 112mm diameter.
here a picture of such alloy-plates...
i hope you understand what i mean?
as i said you could drive a very large range of rims with that. the only thing that should be well calculated, is the "ET - Einpresstiefe" - you call that "offset" as i think?
the offset of the rims should be about 48-50mm, because the rim plus the plate must get the same (or nearby same) offset as the original-wheels.
for example a rim with an offset of 50mm plus the plate with 20mm the offset, what is needed...
ok - you would see some.
i ordered these Momo Corse Black 7,5x17" ET48, wich i should get next week:
my girlfriend ordered Brock RC Design RC11 7,5x17" ET48:

Would sure like to get a set or those lips when I get my wheels.
