Default Compomotive CXR 7x13.. Would they look cack on my XR2?

I want to stick with 13's as the XR handles best on them. Anyone seen these on an XR2? I want a set but everyone I've said it to reckons it'll look rubbish....... But, they are very light, and 185/60/13s are cheap for R888's Cheaper than the 15's anyways.

Here's the car..



And here's the wheel



On some kit car thing



What does everyone think????

Tiff, appriciate the offer mate, but 15's are too big. And at ET15 I'd never get round a corner at speed and not use the arches to cut holes in the tyres

Radders, 13's handle so much better, and getting a 185.55.14 R888 is difficult. 13's are the way forward

Haven't tried them. I'll investigate Will also get a couple of sets of pots for wet days, and a couple with MT drag radials see if I can beat 14.2 @ 92mph
