Basic Economics: you can sell to the masses at cheap prices, or you can sell to the select few at high prices. Try to do it in reverse and you're out of business.
Think about all the vehicles on the market, then think about how many of those vehicles an 18X11" 120mm wheel would fit, then think about how many of those vehicle's owners would prefer this particular wheel design on their car...starting to get a perspective on demand? Understand why Iforged, HRE, CCW, etc. wheels are so expensive now?

That alone should tell them something. The cost to redesign a wheel these days is very cheap compared to years ago. Just plug the dimensions into a computer and poof, you have a wheel design. It wouldn't cost them anywhere close to the amount they would make in the first month if they would produce a 10" wide wheel.

Building a wheel that you could sell to owners of 10 different vehicles vs. one that you could only sell to 2 is a no brainer if you're ultimately going to charge the same for both.

They are pretty sweet. Wholesale price direct from HP will be $250 per wheel for the chrome 19" HPR5. If you throw a middle man in there the price goes up more. This place only wants $266 per wheel. I may end up buying these.
