RVM Wheels sells them. The ones in the pic are both the same thing just one in chrome. I bought some of the black ones and got them mounted yesterday and all I can say is DAMN! I'll post pics as soon as I get some. As far as the width they only come in 8.5in unfortunately so you'd have to have them widened for anything bigger. I'm running a 295/40/20 tire on mine right now and it's about as wide as you can go with them. You can get them in 20's or 22's as far as I know.

Just check the specs on your tires at tirerack.com.
Is it a big deal? Beyond my expertise.
