Default need advise on wheel availability

I'm not in the F-body circle and my question is for someone who is.....How hard is it to come up with factory (OEM) GS 17x11's ?? And how much would I expect to pay for them ?? Are they still avaliable new, if so where would I look ??

Next question....the 5 spoke SS camaro wheels (17x9) that look like the GS's, what would I expect to pay for these (factory, OEM) ?? Are they still avaliable new, if so where would I look ??

The weights I've seen posted for these is 17x11's=20ish lbs. And the camaro 17x9's=21ish lbs ?? Does this sound correct ??

Thanks...

The Grand Sport wheels are nothing more than C4 ZR1 wheels painted black. I HIGHLY doubt you're gonna find anyone that has a stock pile of OEM new ones.

I thought the difference was the ZR1 had 50mm offset and the GS had 56mm, the 56mm would fit my application better. I speaking of the 17x11's.

What does a pair of originals go for (17x11)?? Used of course.
