Aftermarket Smart Car Rims |
 There is now a growing selection of 15", 16 and 17" Smart car wheels.
It
appears the 16" Smart car wheels are the aficionado’s preference for after market
wheel. The
reason for this is cost and availability.
Most
15” after market wheel are a simple bolt on replacement for the factory wheel,
they utilize the factory 175/55/15 tires. The after market wheels comes in a assortment of widths, requiring no bodywork modification
in order to fit the cars.
Most
16 inch wheels sell use a low profile tire. The makes for a more rigid ride
than on 15's. However improved cornering ability is reported. Most
16's have a 5 stud bolt pattern. Again no bodywork alterations are needed to
fit 16's
New
to the market are 17" Smart wheels. They make a immense visual aid statement
and will fascinate those who want their Smart car to stand out in any crowd.
A
narrower, low profile 17’s is needed. According to reports a Pirelli P Nero
Zero's, (195/40/17) Pirelli P Nero Zero's, is the best option. There may be a little
rubbing under some conditions. A Smart can accommodate up to 7.5 x 17"
wheels without fitting wider rear wheel arches.
