  If you have WoW installed on your PC you can get the 'WoW Model Viewer' which will export almost any model/texture from the game to a file you can open in your 3D package.
  
  I'm not sure of the legalities of it, don't use the models for anything other than reference obviously.
  
  Still, it's a good resource for seeing how the models/textures are created.

  i think wowhead has a model viewer for most items and tier sets. No wireframes but you can break the models down pretty easily from their faceting and whatnot.

  I can confirm TeeJay's info. Wow Model Viewer will export pretty much all of the models to OBJ formats, and you can export the textures as well in .bmp and .png formats.
  
  Just - yeah ... legal stuffs, use them for reference and learning.

  Can't vouch for them being to spec but they're not too bad.
