When 2-piece wheels are widened, they don't actually have 2 weld seams, only one near the middle. They don't take a 2" piece of aluminum and weld it in the middle, rather they use two rim halves that are cut so they all join where the center does. Essentially a 3-piece wheel that is welded instead of bolted.

I am not sure who is building the widened 2-piece wheels you have been getting, but this is not how most manufacturers do it.

Anyways, just wanted to throw this info out there. I am sure any wheel you go with will be fine and look great.
