Some say, they are the rarest of all, since they were the most expensive alloy wheel option,

You could always keep an eye out for some Eiker E1 copies of the Polaris wheel. You can still buy them new but they arent cheap to import.

Other than that youe best bet would be to look abroad towards the USA or into Europe and try to find a set of either Polaris or Eikers over there.
