Post Wheel sizes
Due the the depleting stock of good quality ROAD tyres in 185/60/13 size has anyone contemplated on using a larger diameter wheel with a lower profile tyre? I know that there isn't anything BMC larger than 13" but what about Compmotive wheels??? I would be interested in others coments.

Know what your saying,

When i changed wheels last i went to 13s to increase my tire choice, and now they are getting harder to get, well yoko a539s, have not braved the falken i have found yet,

My resons for staying on 13s at teh time was lower weight, better choise of sutable tyres, i.e cars generally speaking with 13s are lighter than the family hatch back on 14s, so the tyre construction hould be more suitable.,

You still can get 185/60/13 A539s, im struggling to find my prefered front size of 175/60/13

Compomotive will provide custom offset and pcd wheels providing they are within their available tolerances, as mine are custom offset
