451 smart fortwo

hey thanks to every one here on the forums for all the info ....
i really wanted to customize my smart passion .so i decided to try and get some rims and when i started looking i came up with nothing ... except for companys that are not in the united states .. and they are pretty expensive .so i went around locally here in nyc and with the help of a friend . i got hooked up with a place near by in lodi NJ the place is called tire and wheel connection they are on rt 46 east thanks to the great machining skills of Alex and MR Harris this is what i got anice chrome 17" three spoke wheel that looks like a big mercedes emblem my tires are on the way from tire rack i went with the reccomended 195/40/17 for the front and 215/35/17 for the rear i will post more pics next week when they are all mounted up

the tires from tire rack with shipping was 550.00 the rims with the drilling and the machining were another 500.00 so there you have it 1050.00 compared to 3500.00 from other manufacters and by the the way the rims i got are from apex a well known italian wheel company not a cheap wheel just got a great deal
