On the smart car 450. There we’re a lot of good looking alloy wheel choices. Does any one know, if those 3 bolts wheels,are compatible for a 451 smart. Are they a size 15”. Is there a issue with size compatibility? off set etc. Brake clearance. I like the Brabus 450’s alloy’s.

Wheels can be swapped around between 450s and 451s. They're direct fit, but you may need to substitute wheels or get spacers to get the fitment you want. My 2008 has a 450's front wheel on it right now.

Those wheels were offered on the 2008 451 Brabus in Europe. Not sure about offset, but the bolt pattern is the same.

There is one exception to this and it is the 450 Brabus MonoBlock VI Rear Wheel in the 17x8 size.
The picture you posted are the 450 MonoBlock VI in 16".

The 450 17x8 ET -15 wheels will only fit a 450 with the Brabus 'widebody' rear flares.
You would need something similar for the 451; about 1.8" Wider each side to mount this particular 450 MonoBlock VI.

Finally, while the front wheels of a 450 will fit a 451, the 450 rear wheels have a different offset.
Basically, they stick out 1.25" further.
Looking down on your 451 rear fender flare, a stock wheel and stock tire looks inset 0.5".
Mounting a 450 rear on a 451, the wheel would stick out 0.75".

To summarize, the 450 Front wheels do fit perfectly on front And rear of the 451.
The 450 Rear wheels do not fit the 451 rear, unless you like them sticking out 0.75"

I had to dig out my favorite Brabus 450 wheel which is no longer made

This one is a 15x6.5 ET -1 Brabus MonoBlock V 450 rear wheel.
It is powder coated silver, the face and lip were diamond cut, then clear coated and baked.
Original all metal centercap (A454 401 02 24) $70 each cap!
