I'm ordering some 13x7 Superlights for my Traveler and I want to know the specs on the wheels on this beautiful car. I assume they are 13x7's but I would like that verified and also I would like to know the offset and any other specs.
Thank you.

Thanks for the responses. I'm not too concerned about weight, I have 13x6 Sport Pacs on one of my Minis and I'm planning an engine swap for the Traveler anyway. The main reason I want the big wheels is to fit some large binders on it, and of course it doesn't hurt that the wheels happen to be sexy as well.
Can anybody verify the offset on these wheels? 45mm negative offset? I want to have a similar stance with my Traveler.
