LF: Any info on these rims for my 300CD!

Don't care if they're cheapos or expensies... I've had a love affair with these rims since I got my 83 300CD. I love simple 5 spoke monoblocks..and the fat lug covers have a hint of those old 123 hubbies!
I've seen them bop up on craigslist maybe 3 times, each was at a very reasonable price (hence the cheapos comment) but I never made the move and held off.
Each time though, I posted pics on here asking about what type they may be. I never got a solid response (the best was that other companies made similar rims and maybe I could find the center caps somewhere else) ...maybe they're too cheap to even comment on haha!
But I found 3 (that's right 3!) for sale on craigslist the other day and that old bug came out again for another bite!
SO here goes..
Does anyone know what specific company made these exact monoblock styled rims?
From what I could gather from the ones for sale, they were produced in 16" and possibly 15".
And most importantly does anyone know where I could get a nice used set?
Would love to know.
Cheers and thanks for lending some brain.

The offset value is probably carved or printed on the inside of the wheel.

I might know...

I think those were produced by a company called pimps-r-us, but I could be wrong!
