But the 8's are cheaper than the 7's. Anyone running 8 inch wide wheels? Have to roll the fender lips hmmm? 8's would look the 'biz on a 1st gen eh?

Keep in mind that Diamonds are not for regular street use. Race only.

I have a set of 13x7s... they're not heavy and they're round and square. Quality wheels.

So you are saying they do not soak up potholes and such very well. How do the 13x7's affect the traction of your car and are tires available for them readily?

I thought about these a long time ago. I am SO happy I went with panasports instead.

Heres another thread on them I started a while back:

The problem is that the wheels can crack. Not designed for regular use - just the act of rulling puts a lot of stress on the wheel cyclically and they will fail.

13" race tires are among the most common available. 205/60-13 is a very common size.
