my car was stolen and striped, need info to get it on the street again

while i was at college my car was stolen, it was mildly striped, including the rims and tires. Its a 87 ws6 with the 16 inch silver crosslaced rims. I liked those rims and was wondering where i could find a replacement and how much they ran. If this is too expensive i need information on how to select a replacement set of rims. such as width, backspacing, and anything else i dont know about. Anyoen have suggestions on a good line of rims? I know the stock rims had differnant size backspacing, will my replacment set need that too? what kind of prices am i looking at? what are some good tires for street use as well. Im in coastal california so i only need to worry about rain. I had a set of pilot xgt's and i liked them. its an everyday driver. Im goin on vacation soon so i may not respond quickly to questions but i apreciate all information given, thank you. Im posting this in the suspension and appearance boards as i beleive it applies to both.

There's a set of silver crosslace rims at a junkyard here locally. They're in good condition with a tiny bit of rust that can be sanded off. The guy wanted $200 for them, but shipping to you might be a little much. Lemme know.
