How much for a set of adapters? What width rims did you use? Offset? I assume 5x112 pattern. Looks great.

Very nice. What brand? Where did you find them? Tire specs?
I look forward to any ride report you can do. Handling changes, harshness, ride quality.

I don't know what brand the wheels are. Tires are 195/40 front, 225/35 rear Yokohamas. Rides and handles great

I carry a plug repair kit. I have found that every flat I've ever had in the past 20 years has been either a screw or nail in the tire. It's usually a good idea to carry a flat head and phillips screw driver with a pair of pliars. Pull out the nail…
Do the 2010 fortwo's have the same problem that the 2008's have or have they figured out a way to solve many of the transmission problems that the 2008's have had? I just bought my 2010 passion on May 19th, 2010.
