VW offered a very limited run of 13X6's, they were flat faced with a 
"modern" looking 4 spoke design. The most common wheel in 13X6's was the 
Ronal (sp?) that was very popular because of excellent fit-ment around 
the hub. These are the wheels that were used on the Golf Cup cars. Good luck 
finding a set, I looked for 3 months...... little to no luck.

Pansport makes an excellent 13X6 with just the right off-set, but be 
ready to shell some $$$$. I'm sure Revolution would offer a suitable 
wheel, that is if you are very rich :)
