1200 Wheels - Confused!

OK, some may have seen my post in Classifieds looking for some new wheels for my Datto.

Now I've read the tech Wiki, I'm even more confused so now I'll ask for some serious advice.

Back in '98 I got a set of 13" rims and tyres off a wrecked Stanza and fitted them to my 1200 sedan. They were second hand then - now they're the wrong side of 20 years old. (the car was only restored (stock) in 2013, sat stored for 13 years before that). They ride poor, they stop even worse and one is now showing a bulge on the sidewall - and obvious belt problem. No more miles for these beasties me thinks.

So I'm looking to replace.

So I was thinking of getting a set of 13's to replace them. However reading the Tech Wiki now I'm not sure. Maybe I should just roll 'er back to stock 12's - which i'm my opinion and memory, rode better than the 13's ever did.

All this talk of non stock wheels, offsets and scrub... scary. Stock 12's might be the historical thing to do, especially since my '1200 is used more commonly for rallying and dirt and never sees a racetrack.

I've found a set of stock 1600 (13") wheels on Ebay that I might consider. So the question.. should I get the '1600's or go back to stock steel 12's?

Opinion invited!
