use your mouse where it says..... Click Here To Enter Part Number Search...... next enter the part number and choose Pontiac..... than click Get Parts...... next you'll see the part (no pic) type and the cost.

Whether it works or not can't say. You could order one (not real costly) and if it works, your good to go. If it dosen't, at least you'll know for sure.

Have you considered locking nuts? Gorilla Lugs are pretty easy. They have splines on the nuts, so you need the special socket to loosen 'em. No worries, and they work on any wheels.

I don't think the GM locks work with the OE plastic caps... See what I mean: http://www.gmaccessorydealer.com/details.asp?prod_ id=29623

Hey Woody, Whatever You Get, Choose A Nice Chromed Set And You Will Not Need The Cheesy Plastic Caps.

I agree. Those caps are a PITA. I got my chrome locking lugs from Summit.

My girlfriend got me a set of locking lugnuts from the dealership and they didn't work with the plastic caps.

I ran into the same problem. Got locking lugnuts from the dealer and they are set up for the standard GM screw-on plastic caps. At that point I went to a wrecking yard and got the lugnuts off a Lumina and put the plastic GM screw-on caps over the lugnuts and locking lugnuts. This also solved another problem in that I can now use the standard 19MM socket to get everything off--no special tool required. The GM screw-on caps come in black or gray. Also, make sure you get the longer lugnuts off of a Lumina or other mid-size vice the shorter lugnuts that are on the cavalier and other gm compacts. They have the same 12X1.5 thread and seat but the shorter (by about 1/16") ones won't allow the plastic caps to screw on beyond about 1 1/2 turns. Low-buck solution to an annoying problem. Another alternative is to just buy McGard chrome lugnuts but again, you are left with an exposed locking lugnut. I actually tried this but didn't like the look of the exposed locking lugnut, so went back to the plastic cap option.
