I think the simple answer is no.

We have a '96 LSS (Special Edition) and it came with the same 14" painted
aluminum wheels as other non-special edition models.

You're correct, you can't legally use them as your car is now configured. In
order to use a part of an option package (or model identity) you must
convert the car to the specs of the entire package. In other words, in order
to use a part of the '96 GSR package on your '96 LS you have to convert your
car to the specs of the complete GSR package. Not a very practical thought.
Even where less complex option packages are/were offered, say a package
consisting of HD springs and stabalizer bars, all parts of the option
package must be added/ exchanged with the original non-HD components. In
this simple example there's still another "wrinkle" and that is that any
front stabalizer bar can be used on stock class vehicles as long as the
original mounting points are utilized to mount the different bar.
