I think those are probably custom one off designs. When you are GM you can do that sort of thing.

Ive always kinda wondered if they were just a one time custom wheel made but then again.. I thought to myself, why would gm go thru the trouble and cost of making a custom wheel for a car that isnt in production.. just a 1 time thing. Wouldn't that be a waste of money to make 1 or 2 sets of wheels for a car and thats it? This is why I still wanna believe there actual wheels you could buy somewhere

Take a look a the Hamann wheel line. They make wheels for Ferrari's and Porsches. If you look at the 575 Maranello you will see a wheel that looks very similar to the GM wheel. If I were not at work I would post a link for you.

With the CNC equipment around today, making up 4 centers for a set of "show car" wheels isn't really that big a deal.
