Just wondered because I have a set of 13" Allycats in my Fathers garage. They're gold crossspokes with a deep chrome dish. Reckoned they might look cool on my lachs touring, really Euro. :cool:

Any thoughts ?

Cheers

Fit them and see.

14s are small, so 13s would look smaller (and stupid IMO)

I am personally a fan of small wheels on cars, and as the fashion is big rims at the moment, small fat rims and a dropped car could look very good!

jazz man is right - 14s were fitted from new to clear the brakes. mods would be required to get 13s to fit and rotate.

Got any pics of these wheels?

Might look sweet on an E21.

I guess I'll have to sell them if they ain't gonna clear the breaks. Bugger. Yes, they do look sweet on an E21 as that's what they came off originally. Me Pop's is offshore at the mo but I can get pictures to you when he come's home if your interested ?

With those size wheels you'd have to fit massive profile tyres otherwise your car will be on the floor. Especially if it's lowered as well.
