Given that they have installed 205's on the front and 235's on the back, no......They might have made it even worse.

And black wheels are so 1999 riceboy.

Not all of them unless you mean the all black wheels like the ones on this particular car.

Black wheels with a polished lip look killer in many applications imho.

I thought the point of a smart car was fuel economy?

Common misconception.
It's designed for city dwellers (areas with limited parking).
The point of it IS the small size so it takes up a the minimum amount of space.
MPG is not the point of the car.

From an "enviromental" impact, it good because its minimalist...or something

But how many have a polished lip? Only people with taste buy those.......And there aren't many people with taste. People withOUT taste buy 100% black wheels, like the ones on this car.

So is a name like "Ultimate R"

Seems like the O-ring tires and sport suspension (not looking like a lot of room for travel there) would make for a pretty nasty ride on potholed urban streets.
