Wheels From the Smart Car?

Just saw the new Pink Panther movie and thought that the wheels on that car would look great on the Mini. Does anyone know anything about the wheels or where I could get something like them?

I can't remember the specs on those wheels. Those SMART cars were all around me when I lived in Italy. I personally wouldn't like them on the Mini. Just give me a SMART car. I would do a 120 mph on the Autostrada and get flashed by one of those to move over and he would take me like I was standing still! A little OT but good none the less.

From the picture it looks as though they're 3-lug, so definately won't fit the MINI. Cool looking wheels though.

I really like this style. Does anyone make something similar that will fit the Mini?
