I'll be interested to know how you get on. 

I'm also looking for a complete set and have been struggling to find anything without having to re-mortgage the house???

Just found a guy locally in New Zealand who will sell me 4 sets of genuine rings for only $87 (US) however they have the one piece oil ring.  Does anybody have any experience with these?
