Does anybody know what rim these are??? Size? Offset? Weight?

I have been trying to contact the owner, but still no word for a while now.
So I leave it to the Experts.

Here is also his website with more screenshots

Thanks for all the help Ryan, I still can't find a company that sells these. Let me know if you find a wheel company, I see you found one but didn't post a link. Thanks again.
