Centerline Smoothies come in 6 lug 17", 18", 20", 22" and 24" and come in chrome or polished. I have polished 20x8's on my 76 Blazer and have contimplated painting them to look like steel wheels. The red rims in your picture are one offs. (otherwise I would have gotten those)

try the 'bay and companies that sell winter rim/tire combos since a LOT of people run the steelies in the winter to keep those purty aluminum rims in the garage.

also, try salvage yards and Toyota dealerships for "new takeoffs".

Seen a Ford at Turkey Rod Run this year with big steelies on the back, I wondered where they came from. Then I saw an F150 the next week with a spare tire on.

It is not that easy to find these though.
I have seen a set of the nissan 18" on one of our trucks and it had potential.
