Project...not so SMART

[bremorr]

Ok, I'm starting project, "make my smart car less gay" Phaze 1 was wheels, they landed today. Next will be coilovers, exhaust and Brabus rear fenders. (Maybe flairs, not sure yet.) I have already had it tuned at RCTS. I will keep this updated as parts acquisitions happen over the winter. Let the flaming begin!!!!!


Starting with this,

You should add a hayabusa engine in it :P

[Mr_ET]

what is the hp rating after the tune?

[89s1]

Those rims are a terrible choice for a smart car.

A+ for effort, its your car I can't tell you what rims to buy, I can just say that in my personal opinion.... they are just not a great fit for the car.

Also curious about the power that sucker laid down.

[tirebob]

Looks pretty sick man... Nice and aggressive.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[kevie88]

Fucking awesome. These are gonna look rediculous haha

[bremorr]

I'm turning the car into a rollerskate!! For those of you curious about the POWER....pre-tune, 38whp, 75ft/lbs. Post tune, 52whp, 89ft/lbs. Needless to say the car is shit slow and will be worse with the wheels. I have the G if I want to hoon around at a c-note.....for everything else, there's the smart car!!!! I love the way old school VW's look when guys run the super agressive offsets, hence the wheel choice.:love: :love: :love:

[Dumbass17]

:dunno:

[dj techsta]

maybe looks kinda crap now, but then again, once you put all the mods on it might balance itself out

[riced]

that's super sick man
I love it

[bremorr]

Here's what it should look like with the Brabus rear fenders + lowered.

I might paint the centers and end up with a look similar to this.

It looks good just the way it is. If you paint it red, it may look tacky.

But that's just my opinion. :)

[Tilly]

very unique around these parts. get it as low as you can too.. then these guys will be raving!

actually, maybe have the wheels painted red to really set it off.

[MrSector9]

yeah if you are somewhat after the vw look....


you know you HAVE to paint the centers :)

[nismodrifter]

Are your wheels the same specs as these ones? Yours look like they are sittin outside a little bit more but I'm not sure.

Staggered + poke + stretch = :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[bremorr]

Same wheels as above...and below. I have already appologized to him over at eurodrivers. The look of that car is exactly what I am after. I think red centers might look good, if I paint them it won't look like I'm completely ripping off his car!!!

This one looks dope!! If I paint the wheels black and run a red stripe, it will match my "G"

[EM1FTW]

[bremorr]

I am pretty sure he is running a 215/35, tirebob says the we should be able to stretch 205/40's over those bitches!!!! As he is a VW guy and knows everything about tires......I'm gonna believe him:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

How wide are they and whats the offset?

Not really surprised that 2 people in town would rock those wheels. They are TOO sick. The amount of dish in the rear is just insane.

www.tyrestretch.com if you want to see what different sized tires look like on various widths :)

Thanks for the link.

Front- 17x7 +20 offset
Rear- 17x8 -20 offset

[ZorroAMG]

Wow...the mustang wheels kill it for me. They look like retro beater hot rod wheels, not something that belongs on a smart car.

Sorry.

[infected]

Not very original but still looks alright I guess.

Nice garage btw.

[bawlls]

please make it fast like the one that beats a farrari

I thought it looked better with the other wheels :dunno:

[herragge]

Just say no to body colored rims. Doesn't look good on red. You could paint them black though, but I think that is played out. Would look good though.

Cool project, stretch FTW.

[bremorr]

Here are some pics of mine, took me a while to get rubber. Looks dope.....wheels are rubbing the shit out of everything....good thing it's all plastic and cheap!!!! Fenders are officially now a wear item;)

[kevie88]

It loks so awesome in person haha!

:nut:

[CausalInfluence]

That is so wicked man.
Props for a wicked wheel/tire combo.

Enough dish to make the jdm hardparkers shiver.

[TYMSMNY]

You should paint the dish the same color as the body. Saw a white M6 w/ painted dish (white), and it looks super hot!
