No, you can't buy them new anymore. Even in recent years of making them they made very few and the pricing was astronomical.

Translation from their "Feature" post on 01/07/2019:
"
Notice of suspension of operation of our factory"
Dear Sir, We would like to thank you for your continued support.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued patronage.
From the end of March 2018, we have stopped manufacturing and repairing old wheels at our factory.
Currently, the only product that can be manufactured is the 3-piece product "G7-C4C".
Center caps, air valves, nuts, and other small items and goods are still on sale, but
Sales will end as soon as the stock runs out.
We will update it as needed when there is a change in the products that can be manufactured or sold.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and also apologize for any inconvenience.
We look forward to your continued guidance and support in the future."
