Interesting debate on tyre/wheel size
As with everything USA its bigger, they seem to consider 15" with 205's on the small size

The reason for the 205/15 tires is that is about as small a performance tire that is sold here, my Mazda 3 takes 205/55/16's for snow tires and
17" for summer tires.
I don't know of a modern car sold in Canada with 13" wheels, had a devil of a time getting tires for the MK1 Sprite, had to get
Vredistiens made by an antique tire supplier.

Any local fab shop should have the bits. Just ask them what size tube they use and maybe get it off them and then they can bend it for ya.

err, noisy, fast, buzzy, notchy, bit like a scorned woman really.. however going fast it was awesome, nice gear selection, and what not..
But, for a road car too frantic for me.
I like torque and shove rather than revs and revs.. so next one will have a turbo 2L or 1.6? Not sure yet..
Thats my thoughts on my car but you might like it, keep going, I'm sure you will be impressed.

These lot have handrails and balustrades in their description, that means they should be able to bend tube.. go down and ask.
