Am I wrong and they DO fit the GT500 in 18's? IF so please point this out to me!
I'd be ALL OVER them.
I went to Discount Tire Direct dot com and entered in a 2008 GT500 as the car, and those came up (in 2 different offsets as well, and colors). I've bought wheels/tires from that website no less than 5x over the years with NO issues... I guess if they didn't end up fitting, you can just call and bitch and return them. I've not had that problem with Discount though. According to that site, they fit the car... I think the black with the ball-cut machined edges looks sweet.

Here is a link, to all 5 spoke designs they have (should work with the GT500 already selected by the looks of it):

OP

If you're so sick of this you know you could just give me that car or we could do a straight up trade. Just a suggestion.

$675 for 18x9 and wider. But they're single piece forged aluminum. Definitely sweet wheels.

Tough to find for sure...as someone who just settled on the chrome 2010 design....I Was waiting on the Foose Speed wheels but they are still on national backorder indefinitely...
During my searches I found a couple really helpful companies that were able to help...
carid.com
discounttires.com (Note this is different than discounttire.com) very helpful
elementwheels.com (they have GUARANTEED FIT CHART THAT GUARANTEES WHEELS WILL FIT OR REFUND ETC)
actually had a couple wheels I liked but just went with the better deal

dont lose hope...there are plenty of choices available...just have to look...


PS: Its not just offset as someone posted earlier...there are PLENTY of wheels with the same offset that still will NOT clear our brakes..its OFFSET / Back Spacing AND wheel design that needs to be checked...like I stated earlier..if you contact of those companies listed they should help and give you a wheel that is GUARANTEED TO FIT..
