>>>I suspect their "13.5" wheel is exactly the same as your existing 13.   
It would be MUCH cheaper to buy a new wheel than recover your existing one, 
I suspect.   The thing to do is just buy a new one and see if it's the same 
as your old one; if it's not, see if you can live with it.   After all 
you're only talking about 0.25 inch difference in radius....
