Not to sure what you've chasing as the mk1 only had 12' rims, except for the twincam which had 13' x 5.5' with a bigger offset, but all had chrome centre caps.
Or are you after mk2 rims which were all 13' but rarely had chrome centre caps?

I didn't know that Darren. Mine has 13" steelies fitted, must be off a Mk2. In that case I need another set of the same 13" steelies (Mk2), as the guy widening them for me needs 2 full sets to make 1 wide set, if that makes sense! Thanks for the comment mate, hopefully now someone may be able to help me out.

So from what you're saying he is going to weld two halves together? If it's for road use I'd check with main roads first.
If you're in Brisbane I know someone who can do a new complete replacement 13' rim in 6' or 7' wide. When I get my act together I'll post some picks of the set I've had done.
