Default 96 collectors edition wheel

I've been looking for one 8.5X17 OEM wheel a for 96 collectors edition witch is no longer available from GM. Dose anyone know who made them (AFR, A mold?) and how to reach them, or a reproduction that will be an exact match. Thanks

A-Mold made the wheels. Mid America Motorworks sells them, but website says 8.5" CE wheel is no longer available. GS black 8.5 is special order. Get a pair of 9.5's for front? C4 Z51 cars had 9.5" wheels front and rear.

I've got two 17x9.5 OEM wheels that are in decent condition if you are interested in this size. I even have two collector's edition center caps with them. I can take photos of them, but it may be a little while before I get a chance to do that.
