I'm sure the original one could be cut off, and a custom one could be machined and welded to it, then buffed out. But, that would be an expensive effort, and you would only end up with about a 1" lip since the offset of the wheel only allows it to go outwards just so far.

There was a member a couple years ago that had his wheels widened and they actually added a lip to the wheel. I think they put the center of the wheel in a new hoop. The guy said it was a lot of work and he posted some pictures of the finished wheel. Looked great but I can't remember who it was and at the time I didn't save the pics.

I remember seeing a speedline WS6 wheel, thicker spokes, with a wider lip. When I called a wheel shop they said the lip had to be a certain size for them to add more to it.
