Christened the 'Lil Boss,' as per its Texas license plate, this tiny two-door city car won't see much action in its aftermarket-infused form for one simple reason: it can only drive in a straight line. The front wheels probably turn, albeit only a tiny bit, yet that wouldn't be enough for a real-world driving scenario.
You may be wondering why this Smart ForTwo features the ginormous alloys, and the reason is simple: marketing. Yeah, this ride is nothing more than an internet prop meant to raise some likes and put the spotlight on Omar's Wheels & Tires. The Texas-based shop used a set of Forgiatos for this project, thus attracting the attention of the famous wheelmaker, which dedicated a short post to it on its social media channels.
That is also where we found this ultra-strange two-door and two-seater hatchback seeking attention and internet fame. The vehicle was posed next to Omar's Wheels headquarters in Dallas, Texas, and shared some of the space with a real monster truck. The Smart ForTwo received a good amount of work to rock the new 30s. The axles were elongated, as this was the only way it could feature the humongous wheels without serious modifications.
It is possible that besides being unable to turn, the ingress and egress were likely affected by fitting 30s. This would justify the opened windows in all images Forgiato shared on its social media, as well as the short clip that you can also watch at the bottom of this page. Now, as ridiculous as this Smart ForTwo is, we have to admit that it is a great marketing prop in this online age, and while most web surfers who have seen it have stated the obvious, some of them asked whether the car is for sale.
We can safely state that it isn't, and even if it was, driving it to and fro would be impossible with those new wheels and tires. We understand the need for attention that certain people badly crave, but why would you want to own an undrivable car, and one that is quite dull and very small, for that matter? You could always buy something bigger and fit it with oversized alloys if that is your thing, though we would suggest sticking to the 1971-1976 Chevrolet Impala or Caprice. That way, you could also call it a donk without anyone criticizing you for that.
