I've got them for my track wheels. I have 13x7 wheels with 225/45 hoosiers on them. Two sets. I bought them when they had their Christmas end of season special for $25/wheel. Excellent deal. I really like the wheels. Don't get the 13x5.5, you get the 13x7. I have the 13x7 with 4 in offset and a set with 3.5 offset. They fit fine.

Photos from CMP.






This is when I had street tires on them. 215/50 Sumitomos.

I like those, they look really good on your car. I dont' know if they would look quite as good on a white car though.

With the 50/50 weight distribution on your car, small front and wide rear tires will make the car push a lot (understear). If you happen to have those tires, it shouldn't matter much for daily street driving. You can also fit 205's on a 5.5 rim. I did it on my stock + wheels. Getting 7" now will allow you the luxury of upgrading tires easier in the future.
