Yes, what wheel size, please? Any rubbing issues? How much do they weigh compared to the stockers?

"What do you guys think?"

Wheel-Ex,

Hopefully this is not your only attempt at R&D? If so you may need to rethink your delivery to the "smart" focus group? Are we looking at the wheels only or are you asking for feedback on the wheel/tire combo?

The poor quality pictures of THE WHEELS on a lift don't tell a very compelling story. Specs to include size, offset and other particulars would help.

From the picture angle the wheels look to be a tad big but were you to show the car on the ground it might be a totally different look? An outside shot in daylight would also give us a better look at the wheel details?

The red stripe - NO, on that smart yellow would play far better.

You asked what we thought and now you have my $0.02.

I saw this big SUV (not sure what it was) but I did notice it's awesome wheels. Let's see if I can describe them well.

The outer part or frame was black. The middle part or star was silver. BUT the silver part was kind of flat as the where the smart wheels kind of stand out and are more round AND the silver part over lapped onto the black part.

They were SOOOOOOO awesome looking I didn't even see what kind of vehicle they were on. All I saw was wheel.

Yes, too big for my taste... I would rather have more meat on my tires and enjoy the ride than having some cholo think my ride is pimpin

I agree. The yellow ring matches the yellow Smart much better.

The red ring would look better on a red Smart
