          I figured theyd be good to doing an Aspire swap one half at a time.

              If they came with good rubber, you got a smokin' deal. If not you still did pretty damn good. Either way, they suit the car well.

                Will a 185/60-13 clear the rear struts?

                  I may have a lowered beefed up suspension, but I'll chime in here anyway as I just recently installed your tire-size. On my Honda VX rims (5" wide) I have no spacing issues with my KYB shocks/struts. You should be fine depending on the width of the rims. Back when I had 14" steelies and 185/60-14 tires, I needed rear spacers at roughly 1/4" I believe. They must have been 5.5" wide.

                      Yeah, it was a rhetorical question....

                      Wished I knew what they were. They need hub centric spacers.

                        Larry, htchbck has or had those same wheels. He should know the brand.

                            A brand name and model isn't going to mean much; they look like generic Chinese castings and would have been sold under a couple dozen different brand names, if not more. The advantage there is that the center caps are widely interchangeable between such wheels. I would take a vernier caliper to the cap bore and just hit a few tire shops- they all have some sort of selection of Chinese aftermarket wheels and most will keep a small stock of spare parts for them. My old shop had a massive rack loaded with random center caps for various wheels.
