I bought and took possesion of my new 16" Schmidt wheels today:
Tunershop - Wheels - 16 inches - Schmidt Revolution Space Line

The great news is the wheels are designed for use with the stock Smart 3 lug wheel - no adpaters or spacers needed.

BobbyBRD recommended Tunershop in San Francisco, CA.

I also found Big O Tires, in Pleasanton, CA, uses Tunershop, DTH headers and various others suppliers to sell and install after market equipment for Smart cars. Ask for Dave Cherry.

The wheels do not get installed on my Smart until 6/03/08. For now, look at Giantkiller's 17"'ers.

Wow those look great lowndex! Hope I can find some similar 15" wheels. Personally don't want to go any bigger because it will throw the odometer and speedometer off, but those wheels make the car look 10 times better than the factory wheels

I got them for $1322 including shipping, from tunershop. But that was quite a while ago. And price goes up with shipping costs rising and dollar dropping ect.
