Head shims what size for 22re

I need to shim my head on my 22re and was wondering what sizes the shims come in and where can I get them?

Yes, Do I need a shim plus a head gasket or just a thicker head gasket?

NAPA sells the shim. I didn't like it. I have also used the thicker head gasket. It was OK. The OEM gasket is great.

What are the shims made of?
