It looks like Pargu (Korea) may still sell the Samurai wheel set in aluminum, the price is pretty reasonable too, for a set of alloys:

They are actually not worth considering unless you are able to find proper tires for those rims, which are both different diameter for front and rear, making it a nightmare to find matching tires...
I buy kits to build and ru(i)n them :-)

Probably a valid comment, but it's certainly worth mentioning these wheels exist for anybody else out there who has a Samurai project and sees this topic. 8)
