ultralite wheels (13x8)?

Before you buy the rims, make sure you can get tires to fit. There are fewer & fewer manufacturers of 13" tires anymore. About the last (and a good one) is Sumitomo. But an 8" rim amy be too much for their 175-45/13s. Wider may only be available in race tires.
Also, clearance will depend on what the offset is on the 13x8's.
For rims look for Superlites or Ultralites. http://www.superlite-wheels.com/wheelpage.asp?cat=1

I have 13x8 Minilites on mine. The tire size you will need is 195/45R13. The are on the expensive side. I know you can get them from www.gbcarparts.com. I had to cut out quite a bit out of the wheel arches including the A-panel to keep them from rubbing. But I also used hi-lo's and lowered the car a little bit.
