mate if you like them on steelies id get some 15'' one from a astra or sumat atleat then you will be able to put low profile tyres on them. with 13'' the only tyre you would be able use day to day is 195.70.15 and you wunt get the handling benifits. :)

With 15"'s on the ride height is still low. the space from the arch to to the wheel will still be small.
