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.
