You may have a missing axle spacer causing the misalignment, or the rear wheel is a 17 inch from a Standard, and I believe they take a different size spacer than the Specials do. This has been discussed here before, and if you do a search here you will probably find the posts concerning the spacing difference between the two models.
Good luck finding some gold wheels. My only advice is to watch ebay.
