They are 45-55-75-105
From the rickenbacer site:

As you can see, th A and D is a bit lighter than most sets around, I'd keep that in mind when you go looking. There are many threads on this forum regarding strings, both rounds and flats. Good luck!

Sorry, I was a bit quick reading it.
It's being said in this thread the rick strings are rebranded d'addarios. Rickenbacker are also working on a list of suitable strings.

In order to achieve consistent tone string-to-string, there is not much difference in strings gauge-to-gauge of nickel plated roundwounds, irrespective of who actually makes them. Yes, the core and/or wrap wire can vary in proportion a thou or so, and maybe have a couple of pounds tension difference string-to-string of the same overall diameter, but not that much.
So to get a ballpark I would consult the various string tension charts that are available.
