Reverse mount 1-piece barrel?

I was looking into 2-piece modular wheels and the widest wheel they offer is 10" with a 5" lip. Was wondering since the entire barrel is chrome is it possible to reverse mount the center on a 10" barrel with a 4.5" lip to get a 5.5" lip?

They are iconz wheels. *They would be built to order, but the barrels are max 10" with a max 5" lip... Fully chromed. *So... Take a 10" with a 4.5" lip and reverse the barrel gives a 5.5" lip--- sound like it would work in theory although the inner barrel may be a little uglier than the outer?

Anybody?

I know you mentioned they are built to order, but do you have any photos of the wheels at all? The type of lips/barrels they use? etc.

With those lips I don't think it's possible.

Is it a 2piece welded wheel? I don't see how the face would be removable unless there are studs built into the back of the face.

Probably would, but not worth your time and if those guys aren't giving you any insight about their own wheels then I would definitely say no.

Yea dude, look into something else. 3 piece is the way to go, 2 piece are just headaches.

Really? Why I that- I thought it would be easier. Center & barrel, less chance for leaks? Cheaper
