I was just wondering if the new sprint star 4 lug wheels that are being re-popped are just being made in a 5 inch width, or are they also available in a 4.5 width like the originals. Does anyone know the offset on these and if they would be a good selection for my 69 Squareback which will be pretty low when done.Just need some help here before I go ordering a set of wheels that won't work for my set up.As far as lowering I plan on going 3 splines up front and 2 splines out back. Any info will help. Thanks

I'd like to see a 5.5" or 6" repop 4-lug Sprint Star, but I think we're both out of luck. Only ones I've seen have been 5". As far as offset goes, these are straight from the Flat-4 and EMPI catalogs online for the 5" wheels:

Flat-4 ET17
EMPI ET25

So with an offset of 25 that doesn't really sound like a good choice to run on a squareback does it. I believe the original wheel offset is like 46 os something like that.Any good suggestions?
