Maybe this link could help, smartcarrims.com. I had my dealer coat the rims white and I love the look. I remembered when some sales person are pushing me a yellow spokes with black around the outside. Oh well it sounds pretty much better but I still prefer the white rims. Now I'm pushing towards changing my old high flow catalytic.
Just an fyi, we have a set of white, powder coated set of stock rims at the shop. A customer traded them in for the Team Dynamics. Which leads me to... we also have the white Team Dynamics that Logan was referencing.
So for the powder coated white, stock rims with tires, no sensors= 750. They are 850 on the site but call me direct and I'll get these out to you. Note that the dealer typically charge 1k on top of the wheels for these rims.
Mr. Barnes, that is one fine example of a beautiful smart. If you add a pretty black stripe, it will look similar to Mr. Kahn's car.
We were also was thinking about getting another set of rear wheels, but got impatient after waiting on a list for 3+ months and so we went ahead and bought some 16x7 wheels all around from TireRack.Com + 205/45/16 tires.
Our car is all black, and the new wheels (only $800 with tires) arrived yesterday. So today we started process of sanding down the silver paint and DIY painting the tri-spokes black + polishing the lip.
A custom powdercoat would have cost $400-$500 extra so we decided to DIY for only $20 in materials. This left enough money for the 30hp of NOS that is still in transit. I will post pics of wheels as soon as hubby gets around to installing the H&R springs.
-that should take a few weeks LOL : )

You'll never guess, we just secured some white rims and I love them. They are from Team Dynamix, same mfgr that does rims for Lotus, Bentley, and Aston. It's a beauty and it was just flown in for our booth, here at the L.A. International Auto Show. I will snap a picture for you and post it back on this thread I think you're going to like 'em :)
Just arrived and fitted a pair of self adhesive sill plates for my Smart They are made from thin strips of metal with the smart logos raised up, and if positioned correctly will prevent damage to your painted sills as you get out, they also look ...
my first shot would be to contact smart, go to www.smart.com, choose your country, then
go to "about smart" at the top of the page, then click on "contact us". then you can e-mail smart and go over the head of the dealership......
