Strange question, I know… but is there any place I can take a rim into and get the width/offset measured?

lol, well yeah I think I can measure the width myself, but the offset is a little tricky.

Lay the tape measure across the wheel measuring the width, and then place a straight edge on the mounting hub of the wheel and have it touching the tape. Then just measure your width and offset. Super Easy!

What is tricky is figuring out bolt patterns, no?

No. Use a straight edge across two holes. Measure across to the middle of them.

Not so fast smarty pants. Even # of holes easy as there are opposites. Odd number of holes WTF? Five holes…the holes are not equidistant.

yes just pick two that are going to give you the furthest measurement. I guarantee they will all be the same.
