Does anyone know where to find this style of wheel for 100 series in the States?

18" or 16"? 18's are easy to find stateside, 16's you'll have to import from overseas.
 
I guess I could go 18"s but have 16"s on it now. So much we can't get here in North America. I like the old school look of those steelies .

Any idea where to import from? What vehicle did this come off of, a 100/105 spare?
 
Looks like its a 70 series wheel and they came in 16x6 and 16x6.5 according to something I read. I'm not sure if that's wide enough to run a larger tire.

It is - AKA the poor man’s beadlocks. Most chain tire stores like Discount Tire won’t mount anything wider than 10” on them, but independent tire shops will. I had a set of 37 x 12.50s mounted on 7.5” wide rims by an Indy tire shop without batting an eye.

Oh really? That's good to know! Does the narrow wheel really help keep a bead better?

At low air pressures off-road, yes. The only downside is that at highway speeds, you sometimes get slight tire folding.
