bought 6 sets via ebay for $95 to $150. shipping adds another $70-90.
i figure $200 to $230 per set when i budget.
if you can find them local.....
Try New England Wheel and Wheelcover, neww.com
Give them a call if they aren't listed on the web site. They get takeoffs from all over.

Thanks for the tips on locating a set...
Do they fit without modifications?

yes. they have 5.5" backspace so they don't rub even with big tires on them (33's no problem) if you crank the bars a little bit. rears are no problem at all. h2 center caps fit up front no problem, rears require either spacers or cutting hole in center of cap to clear axle cover on full-floaters. we run stock pyo caps with nubs ground off. they are chrome but look good on the painted wheels. some guys use chrome h2 wheels (more $) or cut machine down the diameter of the steel wheel caps and run the painted ones.

Center caps are off a W/T trim truck, so they're silver instead of chrome. They match my eBay H2 wheels pretty well. Trim 3/8" off the back and they pop into the H2 center.

I paid $45 shipped for four in near perfect condition. That didn't include the lug nut covers (GM pn:15767268) which are $2.84 a piece at the Chevy house; slightly less on gmpartsdirect.com in batches of five. Additionally, I picked up a set of external thread lug nuts from ezaccessory.com (http://makeashorterlink.com/?H3911638C) that would fit my standard thread wheel studs - you're likely metric, so factory stuff would work for you.
