smart Madness selected as the US distributor for Kahn Wheels

We are excited to announce that we have been selected by Kahn Design to be their US partner and introduce the upcoming Kahn Design smart car RSL wheels.

Here are some quotes from some international publications:

"What would it mean to take a smart Car, a derived icon of narrow European streets — and convince Afzal Kahn to design a ‘smart’ wheel?

Well; according to Afzal Kahn: British masculinity is defined by two ideals: size and speed. The rogue hormone known as testosterone thrives not only on horsepower but also on style.

In other words: Afzal Kahn did not need any convincing.

In February/March 2009, Project Kahn will be releasing their latest product:

The cleverly evolved new ‘smart RSL Wheel’ (Bright Silver Paint) by Project Kahn wheels gives the smart Car a fresh and masculine appearance whilst retaining its unmistakable character.

Complete with maximum agility, safety and ecology, the stunning Kahn 6.5x17 – 7X17 Wheel bestows an aura style and self-expression.

“Look out for a fresh body styling kit and number of exciting smart related products in the coming weeks and months ahead.”

Kahn has designed wheels, interiors and body kits for Range Rover, Aston Martin and Bentley amongst others."



Here are some sneak peak pics:





More information will be coming in the weeks ahead. We estimate end of March/beg of April as the availability of these wheels. We have a limited number of these sets scheduled to come in by Air as soon as they are released and the rest will come later by container.

These promise to be some of the highest quality and most exclusive wheels available for the smart car. Pricing and availability will follow as soon as we have more information. If you are interested in reserving a set or getting more information when we have it drop us a line at smartmadness@gmail.com and we will update you.

Not any different than the stock wheels or most other aftermarket wheels.

We do not have the exact numbers yet and hope to have them by this weekend, but we can tell you they will most likely be in between the Lorinser and the Carlsson range ($1600-2800) for the set.

For those that are looking for a lesser priced wheel option take a look at our wheel category on our site. We now have over 20+ styles of smart car wheels in stock and as always guarantee the lowest price on every item we sell (see our policies page for details).

Thank you.
