Looks like they may be the Bogarts.

I think Fred is right. I purchased the welded RTs for that reason. The fronts don't stick out, and the backs tuck in nicely. If you have LS1 front brakes though, it moves the wheel out slightly. I don't and do not plan on going with those brakes.
Plus, with these wheels there is no grinding, spacers, using a hammer, etc. I did trim the bump stops to clear the tire though, it rubs slightly when the car is jacked up. But other wheels are worse in this respect. Just be ready to lay out some extra money for these benefits.

wait, look at the front rims on the car i posted, where the bogarts on the "star" part, slant inwards, the ones i posted stay straight, so i believe they are something else

well guys, after some looking around, these look a little closer to what i posted

would 1.75" backspace on a 4" rim work, or would those stick out?

The Bogarts are the "SS" model and completely "flat" on the center section (spokes). The wheels you linked on Summit are the old Weld Pro-Star XL wheels. They have a curved surface on the spokes.

alright, thanks injuneer. Since I dont want bogarts since the car will bes treet driven, would those "Summit Star" rims work for the 4" rim with a 1.75" backspacing?

I have a 3.5" wheel with 1.75" BS. With the 5/16" spacer, it "sticks out". If you had a 4" wide wheel with a 1.75" BS, and no spacer, your wheel would stick out 0.18" more than mine.

Should you drive them on the street? No. But you know how it goes, do as I say, not as I do! Very carefully though (turns), and this is not my DD. So far 1k and no problems.

Those are Bogart's but not the SS. It is the DOS, Drag on Star
