15s the key, there are 13s all over the place. If nowt is forthcoming then you may be best getting a set of 13s for the track and some cheap slicks to suit - i paid £50 for some from the guy on ebay. Putting them on some old escort alloys, about £70 but i like the look of them!

Yeah i've seen 13's all over the place as well, but tried to get my mates 13'' minilites on once and they wouldn't fit over my rear calipers
Maybe should of seen if i could of done something to make them fit as i agree 13's look the dogs, but at the time had a some slicks on my spare wheels so wasn't to bothered.

You need to be selective with 13" wheels when you have calipers, I had to grind the calipers down a bit, however 1" spacer would have saved this but I did not want the extra width.

Mine are the lightweight minilights by the way.
