I have found a few themes from simplemachines.org that I like
and wish to use for my forum. Is there any way I can do so?

The style sheet can be used most likely but you would need to
find a place to host the images itself. Otherwise no we can't
convert it over.

Thanks, and how can I do that? Is there any sites that I can
find good themes where I can just use CSS? There aren't many
good themes on this place.

If you download a theme from there the theme package will have
all of the images in it. You would need to upload them to an
image host (like Photobucket) and replace the links in the css
with YOUR links. There are dozens of places in the css where
you will have to do this. To answer your second question -
its not possible to download a css that will just work. The
image links have to be replaced with your own links so it can
find the images to display them.
The only themes you may even be able to do it with are those
that have not altered the templates as there is no way you can
do that.

So I can use the CSS but need my own image hosts? Can I right
click and just use, "Image URL"

No that will not work. You have to look through the css. Find
every image url in it. Look in the folders for the theme you
downloaded and find those exact image files. Upload them to an
image host. Get the direct url for them and replace the urls
in the css. Yeah its a lot of work but its the only way you
can do it.
Make sure the theme is for smf2.0 That is the only version
that will work. And again: if the theme has changes to the
template(s) you wont be able to use it and get the result you
are looking for.
