pontiac sells them for 20.00ea. here in jersey and 12.00ea for the bird you have to get them separately. junkyards? well it may be kind of hard. try looking on ebay. ive seen some going for 40.00 for all four then you'll have replacements.

Theres a place in Dallas called Hub-Cap Annie. They sell them new for $24.00 each. They already come with the Firebird emblem on them. And likewise any Z28 emblems or what have you.

I got a brand new set of knockoff caps, black with gold birds, for $23.50 + shipping on Ebay, but I somehow got a really good price on them. My biggest complaint with these, though, is that the gold birds on them are just metallic stickers, not the hard plastic emblems that the GM caps had. They look good, though.

I also managed to find a lone black cap with gold bird in a yard, but it was hiding...I found it in the rear storage compartment of an old T/A with the hatch stuck shut. The T/A I found it in didn't even have rims that went with the cap! It cleaned up really nice though, and has all the tabs, so I have a spare in case I lose one. Good luck!
