Not sure this is the best place to be looking for rims, at least like those you're looking for. Maybe the classified (or whatever) forum on this site, but I never go there so...

Not too knowledgeable about aftermarket suspension stuff, but I do have good associations w/ Skunk 2. Good luck, hope it all goes smooth
