The easy way out is... Classicindustries.com
They are on back order 'till the beginning of the year. Just under $600.00 shipped. They are reproductions, not GM oem wheels. I've been asking around because I wanted some. They are lighter, I think a couple of pounds apiece. A salvage yard in FL told me they are far inferior to the GM wheels. Chrome chips off, and they see more dings and dents on those. Luckily, I found some GM gta wheels through the classifieds. The problem with that is... I haven't seen them in person yet, and they aren't new, so it's a crap shoot. I'll get them in a couple of weeks. If you go through these OEM wheel houses, you are going to pay a lot for them. Good luck.
All I have stated are just things I heard, I have not had experience with the reproductions. However, I did ask classicindustries if infact they are repros, and they confirmed that they are. Maybe somebody can share good or bad opinions about these wheels. John

Classic Industries are definitely the easy way out. I've heard mixed stories, also, about the quality and the reproduction-ness. Um, you might want to try posting on sc3gfb.org, one of the guys has a set of gold GTA rims for sale... there's also a shop, Capital Automotive, in LA (310) 323-4242... they carry original stuff, they had a set of black mesh/diamond spoke, rims last week, they get'em in all the time. The price is premium though, $800 *ouch*.
