13x8......what do you think?
Whatchy'all think about these?

They are cheap too!!!!
I am thinking about getting them with some Sumitomo HTR 200 175/50R13's.
The wheel runs for about $93 each and the tire for $42 each.

Rota's are always a nice choice
very slick
but
i'm not a fan of the stretched look
mostly because it doesn't look good
and sucks for performance

maybe "euro", but you're not in europe
as i mentioned, i'm more of a "performance guy" than a "looks guy". if I can't can't come into the curves double-plus-ten because of the wheel/tire combo i have, then i'm looking for a new combo.
or at least replacing the 175s (which are narrower than stock) with some 215/50-13

you're on your own on this one....VWnoob wrote:WHAT!!!!?????
Stretch is totally euro!!!
Stretch all day for me!!!
I think that SoCal can back me up on that!
Oh and Speedtek, I called about the Retros before and....they discontinued them.
Love'm though!
the only reason i run such an aggressive stretch is cause my offset is so aggressive, i'd have to put my car up to stock height if i didnt stretch.
and i dont care what PDX says, they do hold up in the twisties, ask me how i know
