================================================

69a, you state that you have 5 inch x 4 3/4 inch hubs. Don't make sense.

Make sure that when you talk to wheelsmith, that you ask them to tell
you the correct way to measure a 5 lug bolt pattern, as you are going
to want wheels that bolt on correctly to your vehicle. ;);)

Sorry,typo in first post. I'm all sorted with all the bolt pattern and offset measurements.
I believe Wheelsmith use their own caps, They look the same. But dimensions are different.
There is a US manufacturer that you can use the OEM caps on their wheels.

Call Wheelsmith 1-800-854-8937 and ask for Rex. To tell you how great this company is I ordered a set of artillery wheels in Dec 2019 and received them in May 2020.Due to Covid there was a delay for the centers.They were dropped shipped to Murietta ,CA in May 2020.We received them in FRANCE in AUG 2020. Didn't unpack them until OCT 2020.1 hubcap was incorrect .Called Rex and he UPS the replacement pronto NO questions asked except for the invoice number.. Remind you my pal here in France paid in full in Dec 2019.I need not say more.

Yes, give them a call. They will answer all your questions. They may not answer e-mails right away as they could be working on orders. They will answer the phone and have always answered when I called.
 
I actually prefer emails over calls unless I am in a hurry (which I seldom am). I like having a permanent record of the interaction.
