Depending on where you live, there are many very good custom wheel shops which cater to racers and custom applications. They can very easily supply you with some nice lightweight race wheels and drill them to fit the 5 x 98mm application. They will also machine the hub to match your hub and/or build either custom spacers or hub adapters as necessary. The trick is to find a good shop with knowledgeable staff.

Those are listed as 5x100, not the 5x98 for GTV6's.

I believe Charlie at Serpent can make adaptors so that you can fit just about any wheel. You should call him and talk. What color is your GTV-6?

Good luck.

After a not too intense search they may or may not be available in 5X98 but these OZ wheels are.

This is not a problem, just use floating wheel nuts and 5x100 will fit.

OZ makes the ultraleggara's in a 5x98 format but they are typically not carried in the US anymore. Also, the stock OZ was designed for the 164 and front wheel drive Alfa's which has a slightly different hub size.

Try Team Dynamics USA: Rimstock Plc Light Alloy Wheels. The Worlds most desirable wheels.

Don't forget centerbore size. if I recall correctly the GTV6 is 58.6 mm. So, be sure to get hubcentric rings if you decide to go 5x100 with the floating wheel nuts. Some guys that are riding on their 22+ year old wheel studs are doing this (because they absolutely have to have big aftermarket rims), are getting away with it, but IMO you'd be taking your life, and more importantly, the life of any passenger/s in your hands.
