I had a wheel built with the M13II and thought it was a really nice, narrow, classic looking rim. If you're looking for a narrow tire, this is one of the best low cost modern options.
Yeah, the wheel is great. Considering the cost, it matches the original rim very well in terms of look and size.

I am fine with spreading the frame, i just want to make sure that there is not going to be any uses with the chain (i think its chainline that i am referring to) or wheel dishing. I dont want to toss the wheel on there and then end up having problems later down the road that I could have fix/adjusted now...
