I'll try to get some 13inch rim from the scrapyard for testing.

If you have the GTI alloy wheels I know that the GTI wheels in the USA are really heavy, they might be hard to find but VW made some 13" alloy wheels, otherwise the stock steel 13" wheels are even lighter then the GTI alloy wheels.
145R13 were stock for alot of the early Diesel VW's 155/80R13 were common as well, but you will notice in this thread that no one seems to make a low rolling resistance tire in the 155/80R13 size so you might have to go with 165/70R13 or 175/70R13 to find a low rolling resistance tire.
