Well, the stylesheets are necessary for the proper formatting of the
page. I presume that since your reports are viewed in HTML that you're
using a web server/browser to look at them. Why don't you make a copy of
the stylesheets directory where it's accessible without authentication.
Where this ends up being is going to be directly related to where the
wget'd availability reports are located. The stylesheets are going to be
looked for as http://whatever.report.url/stylesheets/*.css. I can't
really be more specific than that without knowing how things are layed
out on your filesystem, how your web server is set up and what URL
you're using to get to the generated reports. If you have a web
developer on staff they should be able to help you if you don't know
yourself.
