Thanks Arch, yeah I know that, just seeing if anyone has a set or pair for sale just to save a few more dollars, actually on the topic do you know the offset of these rims by any chance?

Hmm i like 13 by 7's i think it is a good diameter not too big and not too small. I mean what would the superlights be for a sprinter if known? I know they vary between makes but i want something close to zero if possible.
Thanks for the ebay link might come in handy

if you want these i advise getting 14" as getting tyres to suit, ie 205/60 13's is EXTREMELY limited
bridgestone eagers - which i hear are being stopped
yokohama ??? didnt personally like the tread pattern
khumo - crap
toyo 600 - what im running, and im not sure i am happy with the stick factor.

13's are gheyed, poor tyre choice, massive sidewall flex, and forget any brake upgrades in teh future...

I think the reason for him wanting 13" superlites is as they have the most dishy look of the lot.
Also 14" superlites only come in a 6inch width.
Tyres for 14s is no prob, but finding a 14 inch rim of 7inch (or higher) width new is hard. I just got some second hand import enkeis resprayed. Thats the way to go if you can find some decent wheels 
This is how shmick old wheels can turn out:

i have some 13x7 hotwires i could sell you. im abroad right now, but ill be home in 3 weeks.
as far as tyre choice.. theres definately as much choice as 14s, if you look hard enough, and in the right places. (people who deal with clubman's and mini's)

Yeah I like the 13 by 7's for the dishy, tough look. I think tires aint a problem as I am running 205/60/13 right now and I think they are as easy to get than any other tires in my opinion. Well Ill keep looking, I have been finding pairs of rims with 14 by 7 with zero offset but i would like a whole set. I was thinking of getting ssr rims but at 600 bucks a rim i dont see how there is much of a difference between a cheaper rim and ssr. But I prob look around and if not ill just buy them brand new
