They come in different backspacings. I think Edelbrock actually started marketing these as remakes, but I think they stopped. Anyway, keep researching, I am sure you will find what you are looking for? What size do you want? Vintage wheel has them also, I think.

I ordered a set of their gray 5-spokes a few years ago. Liked the wheels but the 16x8 was only available in a 4.5 inch back spacing.
I tried them anyway but found that with that dimension, the wheel hit the lower part of the rear spring and the emergency brake bracket. They had to machine the back of the spokes to clear the large Corbvette calipers ($25ea) I ended up sending them back and kept the TTII's.

They could have been 16x11's. They did measure over 11" from lip-to-lip, but I assumed they were 10's. They were never polished, so they still had the Halibrand gold "pickle" finish. They came off an old race car that was never driven on the street. I would have liked to keep them, but I needed extra funds to complete my motor. BTW, The fronts are harder to find than the rears.
