    Looks like the have a real lug pattern too.

    I like it.

    BTW, when I was at the Auto Show, I overheard one of the idiot Smart sales guys tell another show-goer 'the reason that Smarts were designed with 3 screws [sic] per wheel was so people would not use after market wheels'.

    and i bet Blitz will make a supercharger for it as well, and since this type of car is huge in japan it will have good aftermarket support as well
    I almost said a curse word!

    I really like the Yaris, I'm assuming this is similar? Makes a great city car
