I've had success finding directories of chd's after searching for something with "archive" ".org" "ps1" "psx" and "chd" as possible search terms.

Check r/roms megathread stickied at top

Vimms lair is a good choice, though i don't think they're in .chd by default, rather just .iso, or a compressed .iso format. It's highly consistent in naming conventions, and has a pretty damn near full collection. Main downside is limited downloading speed, and no concurrent downloads, but if you're just looking to download games you're interested in and not every ps1 game, it should be fine

Emudeck has a really nice tool to mass convert a folder to .chd and as far as the rims go I usually just go to the mega thread on /r/roms or you can go to vimm.com

download roms ffom here https://myrient.erista.me/files/No-Intro/Non-Redump%20-%20Sony%20-%20PlayStation/ and use namDHC, no other way, sorry

Why do you need chds instead Isos? not criticism, im just curious.
