Both vehicles are packed full of taste and class. The first modded Smart car I have seen and it turned out really well. Very nice rides. Well done sir.

Thanks everyone. Funny how there's more love for the smart than the E. I actually like my smart more, too Drive it more than the E nowadays.

I think a good drop and nice rims can make most cars look better My smart sits on KW V2's, but the rear didn't drop low enough for me, so I swapped the rear KW springs with the Swift race springs you see in the pic. The smart has tiny wheel wells, so the rear as is low as I can get it...I'm already hitting the upper plastic fender liner on big freeway dips.

Some pics of my previous rims on the E

1st set: Work VS-XX in 19's (the VS-XX's didn't come in 20's back in the day!)
2nd set: DPE SL-5 in 20's. Old caliper color was Porsche Lapis Blue Metallic

I would love to do a stretch setup on my smart, but I don't want to go widebody. Not into the widebody look. I had to go through 3sets of tires just to get the current setup to fit w/o major rubbing. My front tires are from the UK! Couldn't find tires small enough in the states. 185/35/17's

BTW, I love your ride. It's soooooo clean. The aggressive rims/stretch thread is actually what brought me over to this forum. I'm not really into the poke, but I do love flush setups. You're ride has a mini-poke, which is still so so clean.

And before I got my DPE's, I was *this* close to getting the T1S's that are so popular on this forum. lol

wow all the rims you put on your 300 are hot.. I'm loving the newest set the most, but the others are sexy too . Do you ever frequent SF or Berkeley areas?
