Default Where to buy NEW starburst alloys? or refurbish them better?

Is it still possible to buy the original starburst alloys , NEW? Mine are preety good but i would go with a new set if available. I have seen quotes in the $400 for each but no where can i actually locate them. A lower price would be better.
I phoned around here in australia wrt places that refurbish alloys. They quoted $200-$300 for a refurbishment of ecisting ones, so im thinking its better to buy new.
Anyone had experience with these alloy refurbishment places?
best regards
Peter

At these prices I would go search the junkyards, or go aftermarket (less desirable option for me,..... most aftermarket wheels I saw on the Jags look like "pure cheese" to me).
