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.

Gay. They should be stabbed for calling something with a 9-second 0-60 time "Ultimate R".

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

Yeah back in the early 80's I was in Okinawa, Japan and took a car out on the Expressway and topped it out at 178 kph and later learned it was only about 111 mph.

Left hand drive car...driving on the left side of the road as they do in Japan and running the little Mazda for all it was worth...gotta love it.
