Good question,Two piece wheel manufacturers such as Billet Specialties, Budnik and others are pretty much limited as far as wheel sizes by the manufacturers of the barrels or hoops - we all get them from the same manufacturers and if they do not offer it-it really is not available. There are options such as cutting and widening the barrel but as a manufacture you have to consider the liability of what you have done, plus it is not really a DOT approved wheel anymore and it is expensive. The trend is wider and we know it and as soon as the barrels are available we all will offer them. Manufacturers that offer three piece wheels are about the only answer right now for 18x12 and sizes as such. Hope this helps.
