Bed time rant

Im sitting here cause I cant sleep, and Im looking for wheels for my 72. Now, pretty much every single GM muscle/sports car from 67 to 92 all had the same bolt pattern and back spacking of 5x4.75 and 4.5 backspacing...
When the **** did GM brainstorm the idea of ****ing that all up? There are a lot of nice rims that fit 4th gen and C4-5-6 Vettes, but will not work for OLDER cars because of back spacing. Why did they do that? I would so love to put a set of ZR1's on my 72 without going to spacers. Just SOMETHING!!
I dont belive in spacers, they scare me. Its like all that is there are Torque Thrusts and its 20 different types and rip offs, Rally wheels, or stock. There isnt much else out there unless you put on spacers. Can someone tell me why no one makes wheels for cars built by the largest car company in the world? Im tired of the TT2 look, and im not 100% sold on the Rally look as I have not seen any 2nd gens with them on.

If anyone has any ideas on wheels, real ideas so dont be throwing up pics of 22 inch spinners or 100 spoke gold pimp rims, I mean rims that would fit the car, AND look good, please post up!!!
