Best place to buy OEM wheels?

I am looking to get another set of 16" chrome wheels for my Formula. I know most companies sell "replica" wheels. If I can't find OEM wheels at a reasonable price, are replica wheels just as good? Thanks.

I'm not sure how much you're looking to spend, or even if these are the wheels you are looking for, but these are chrome 16s on my T/A, and I'm going to be looking for something bigger this winter. If this is something that may interest you, let me know, because I will be trying to sell them.

Finishline wheels, there prices on silver aren't too bad, but the chrome wheels are a bit pricey.. They have OEM and replica..

Ok, NOW I am confused! ![Icon Confused](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_confused.gif)
I call two different dealers, they ask for my VIN number (tells them the wheels are chrome), but they asked for 3 more letters on the wheel???
The car came with 16" chrome wheels. They tell me the system is asking for either single ring (RRN) or dual ring (DAD). Where would I find that???
Now, I check gmpartsdirect. When I plug in 1997 Firebird, I am given 2 choices for the 16x8 5-stars (painted, or chrome).
Thanks!

If you are looking for the ones like I have they will be avaliable as soon as my TT2 come in. PM me if you want them. You can have them for cheap
.
They are the stock chrome 16" rims (OEM). ONLY catch is you have to take the tires too.

Ok, now I have two different part numbers:
9593122 (RRN)
9593303 (BAD)
Still trying to figure out where RRN or BAD appears on the wheel. Thanks
EDIT: My wheel appears to have a lip around the opening for the hub. What does that mean?
