Nothing wrong with Enkei wheels, but you're probably going to have a tough time 
fitting 13" rims
over the front discs. I saw one car where the PO had actually ground down the 
caliper bridge piece
to fit 13's. He had ground it down so far that the bolt hole for the pad 
retainer clip was almost
completely gone! I had visions of the calipers splitting in half under heavy 
braking.

"Brakes? We don' need no steenking brakes. We don' GOT no steenking brakes!"

My advice would be to sell them and go buy some wheels that fit the roadster.
