Default help! 13x8 steel wheels

so all of the steel wheels I am finding are primarily for domestics so finding one that says 4x100 hasn't happened yet, i found these,,

but is 4 x 4 the same as 4x100

wtf? sounds silly, but i know the lady when i order isn't gonna know if it fits a "civic"

ok so it was late when I posted this, needed an answer but couldn't call, Turns out "Jan" is a real nice nice lady and make can me what ever I want. . . . so i condurred up a 13x8, d window, w/ orange stripe, but i gotta choose a backspacing too. . .
something else I know little about, i see most 13 inch guys running +4, what will I need on a factory brake, civic lx, w/ 22x8x13 slicks.
And, 13x7 rim on that tire would do what?

My 13 x 8 Weld Magnums have a 5" backspace and they fit great. I think all the Weld Magnums in that size have a 5" backspace so thats what I would go with. You can run a 1" wider slick than wheel so that combo should be fine.

Avg wieght for the 13's were beween 11-13, which IMO, is a pretty good bang for your buck, they are different in looks, light enough, and $120 bux cheaper than the 9lb rival (for me) lenso, I am prob going with a 13x7 because of a more gaurenteed lighter wheel and they are cheaper, how ever "Jan" tells me that she can't gaurentee the wieght of the wheel you come up with, but that they are usually +/- a lb. of what you start out w/.
so hows a 13x8x22 slick gonna perform on a 13x7 a 13x8??????


they have a lot, hm m m m m m beadlocks. . way heavier though

I have been told to get 4'' back spacing on 13x7 and 5 on 13x8, i am getting 4x100mm 13x7, i just wish some one would answer my ?
13/22/8 on 13x7 vs 13/22/8 on 13x8 IN COMPARISON would do what, enough to matter on a 190hp 2100lb eg sedan, saving wieght and money w/ the 13x7 obviously.
