What would be the advantages or problems with using 13" rims on 2021 Vespa 300 HPE?

Mostly for looks. With 60 series rubber overall diameter is roughly the same. 130 front and 140 rear will be slightly wider. An argument could be made that with shorter sidewalls wheels might be more prone to road hazard damage and ride will be harsher. Counter argument would be handling would be sharper with less flex.
