Default HELP looking for new wheels for the 98 ws6

Hello first time here. But i have a 1998 ws6 trans am. Bright orange. Looking to get new wheels for it. Has some knock off corvette wheels. 9” in front and 10.5” in the back. I want similiar for new wheels. Unfortunately the american racing torq thrust type M 18x10.5” is not available anymore. So looking to see what everybody elses wheel setup is. Definetly want the staggered wheel setup. If you can post pictures and specs it would be greatly appreciated.

Are you set on 18"? The car came, originally, with 17s and the last I checked you could still get the 9"/10.5" staggered TTM setup in a 17" diameter.

Yea i would love to have the TTM in 17”. Unfortunately American Racing no long makes them and i bought them for my 1997 firebird and my 74 camaro over the years. But they arent available anymore. So pissed. Plus the car came with 18s and i actually dig the size of wheels a bit. Been looking at bigger weld wheels. I know ill get hate for saying im comsidering 20s but i got a feeling the ride is really rough. But i want atleast 10.5” in the back minimum. “SPINNIN AINT WINNIN” which is why i was asking for pics. Sorry for late reply guys.

They are definitely still available in a 17", in a variety of finishes/colors. But they are all 17x9". I guess it's the 10.5" width that has been discontinued.
