Its because our cars are an absolute pain in the *** for wheel fitment.. Do some searching around and you'll find what you need.

Yeah our cars have a funky bolt pattern and an odd offset.
iirc its some weird BMW offset or something.
Depending on what wheel styles you like there are several wheels from Australia that fit. a company called JHP sells them and they do have the correct fitment for our cars. they are kinda expensive though.

Thanks guys. I need one wheel. I have TSW Nogaro's,chrome 18's and one is bent. Don't know if it can be fixed.. They don't make chrome one's anymore.. What a pain... So when I look at wheels online most say only 18x8 fit..Grrrr... Mine are 18x9..

I would recommend getting one new and having them all rechromed. I work at a tires shop and have some customers with tsw wheels and the chrome starts peeling and flaking around the bead area which causes leaks.

I might have to do that..The wheels are perfect..I'd have to buy a gray one and get it chromed..How much does that cost?

They may not make them (didn't know that) but have you seen if Discount Tire has any in their warehouses? That's where I got mine a few months ago. Paid 250/each.

Also, you might check Group A Wheels. They have some staggered packages for GTOs.
