Those are styleline wheels from the old (450) smart and the offset is wrong for the 451, as the photos show nicely. The front rim width is also 1/2 inch narrower than the stock US 451 rims, at 4.0". Is the tire pressure warning light on all the time? I don't think the sensors fit on those wheels, do they?

To be honest, a set of European BRABUS rims in 16/17 inch with 175/205 tires would look a lot better and improve handling.
