Smart Rims - Overview

Compact design, big impact

Smart, a Mercedes-Benz Brand, stands for urban mobility, minimalist design and all-electric drive concepts. From the well-known Smart Fortwo and the four-seater Smart Forfour to the new all-electric models such as the Smart #1 and the upcoming Smart #3, the brand offers vehicles that are specially tailored to the urban environment. Despite their compact dimensions, Rims play an important role in driving behaviour, efficiency and the individual appearance of the vehicles.

Original Smart Rims

Smart offers a wide range of original rims that are specially tailored to the respective model series. These Rims impress with their exact fit, high quality and a modern, playful Design that matches the characteristic appearance of the Brand. For electrified models in particular, the Rims are not only optimised in terms of design, but also functionally for efficiency and aerodynamics.

Typical colour and surface variants for original Smart Rims are:

• Silver painted for a classic, understated look

• Matt or glossy black for a sportier look

• Anthracite or graphite for a modern, elegant touch

• Glossy turned or bi-colour Rims with polished surfaces for visual contrasts

Most original rims are specially matched to the vehicle dimensions, wheel loads and chassis of the Smart models and are TPMS-compatible.

Alloy rims from well-known manufacturers for Smart vehicles

The aftermarket also offers a wide selection of Alloy rims from well-known manufacturers that are compatible with Smart vehicles. These Rims allow for additional individuality and visual enhancement.

The best-known brands include:

• OZ Racing - sporty, lightweight Rims with urban appeal

• Borbet - durable, elegant Rims with a good price-performance ratio

• Ronal - high-quality processing and timeless designs, suitable for the Smart Fortwo and Forfour

• AEZ and DOTZ - modern, striking designs for Smart drivers with individuality requirements

• Dezent - minimalist designs, ideal for the clean Smart look

These Rims are available in a wide range of colours and finishes - from matt to polished to glossy - and are generally equipped with all safety-relevant standards.

Common inch sizes and offsets for Smart Rims

Due to the compact vehicle dimensions, the Inch sizes on Smart are typically smaller than on conventional vehicles. The following are common:

• 15 inch to 16 inch Rims: for Smart Fortwo and Forfour (combustion and electric variants)

• 18 inch to 19 inch Rims: for new models such as the Smart #1

The offsets (ET) vary depending on the model and Rim and are usually in the range of ET 22 to ET 42. Larger Rims with a lower offset are particularly popular for the new electric models to achieve a sportier look and a wider track.

Design variants of Smart Rims

Smart Rims are characterised by creative and urban designs that perfectly match the compact vehicle concept. The most common designs include:

• Bolt circle designs with round openings - typical of the Fortwo, playful and iconic

• Double-spoke Rims - sporty and dynamic, ideal for newer models

• Multi-spoke Rims - elegant and quiet, popular with Smart Forfour drivers

• Turbine rims - aerodynamic and modern, especially for electric models such as the Smart #1

• Five-spoke Rims - simple and functional, a classic in the accessories sector

The right Rim is the perfect way to express your personal style, even on a city runabout like the Smart - functional, efficient and always stylish.
