AndreGT6 Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Good, I put a rim on, man those 185/70-13 tires are unsexy,A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I don't really think prices are comparable - they must be pretty common here in the UK - but in Canada it's a totally different marketplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreGT6 Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Yeah, I still got a good price on them.They are a way nicer wheel then my original slotted ones from 2001.I'll clean them up shortly and see if I can afford some nice rubber.A.

the_nutter Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 If that doesn't convince me never to put 13inch wheels back on my car I don't know what would! :-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ.Lintern Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Probably looks odd because you've still got the other wheels on the front - try photoshopping some on the front too ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreGT6 Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 I could just put the front wheel on, I just happen to have the rear one off so I did it.Nothing wrong with the wheel, its just the rubber is too big. :)A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ.Lintern Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I saw a GT6 (Mk3) with 13" Wolfrace type wheels at work today - I'll see what size tyres it has and take a pic if I see it tomorrow :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreGT6 Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Well it will be 1 of 3 sizes of tire depending on what I pick in the end.185/60-13175/70-13or176/60-13A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Got 155/80-r13 on my Herald with plans to give 175/70-r13 a go later one.Gotta say, they don't look anywhere near as nice as your old wheels. Will be interesting to see what difference it makes to the handling though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 are you keeping the old wheels aswell, dare i say it i liked your old ones better. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreGT6 Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Ah, the 15" are my street tires the 13" will not be my street tire if you can't my drift.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreGT6 Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 My DSL is down at home, so no pix today.I'm just too used to my 50 series now on the 15" wheel.When I work on my friend's Spit with 155/80-13 I can't help but giggle. So narrow.;) Still fawn memories of sliding the tail around a few intersections around home.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works for some, depending on what else they've done.I can't remember what size are on mine. The old size is burned into my memory & won't be displaced: 165 SR 13.

fleshie Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Boy I don't know Andre, those 13's don't look too bad to me, maybe I'm just old school but the 13's just look "right" IMO. Either way you can't go wrong! ;D Did you measure the diameter and compare to the 15's? Doesn't look like you picked up much clearance from the pics??? If the diameter is fairly close wouldn't it make sense to use the 15's for competition (less sidewall flex, quicker transition) and run the 13's on the street (more flex, bigger volume of air for comfort on the potholes) I imagine the 13's are a lighter package though? Be interesting to see a weight comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreGT6 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Oh don't reference those tires.They will be coming off soon for some Comp R spec tires.Right now, the 185/70-13 is pretty well the same size as my 15" (195/50-15)Would be interesting to weight both.A.

Tim Bancroft Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I use 175/70 13s on my car, they suit it.I'd paint the centre of the Wolfies black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
