Those wheels are cheaper on www.partscheap.com
the second wheel you listed is only 201.xx and includes the lugs and center cap and is genuine ford.

Those ones caught my eye to be honest, but I am also interested in either painting these a matte black or buying a similar pair of matte black rims.

I was mainly just curious about the wheel width, but am also open to suggestions on other rims

Aftermarket wheels are much cheaper than oem ones, check out tire rack or something

If you are willing to buy oem, you can get great deals on oem wheels and wheel and tire combos on this forum and ebay. You just need to be patient and keep your eyes open. I have seen 16", 17", 18" and even 19" at pretty good prices. Oem wheels will probably be heavier than most aftermarket.
