I have a mint set of 13X8 Rvolutions for sale in the 1st gen parts for sale section. Much nicer than stock car wheels. But don't tear them up, they are rather rare, lol.

13X8 with 4" backspacing seems to be what everyone else has ordered/used from Diamond. That is what I just ordered a bit ago as well...
