Why no 18x11in A molds

So i have been looking at wheels for a while and love the look of 18in wheels on our cars. I also love the classic looks of the A-mold wheels and the fact you can run a 315 tire in the back. I go to the track alot and a 315 would def help my hook up alot better then the 285. Why hasnt any company combined the great looks of a 18in wheel and the width needed to run a 315. Just wanted to know if its only me that would love this combo.

I've wondered that myself. They sell 18x9.5" a-mold style wheels, but I've never seen an 11' width offered. They'd look pretty cool.

I agree. When I bought my GS-replicas, I really wanted to get the 18" versions, but the lack of 11" width was a deal breaker!

And thats exactly where i am at right now. I really want the 18 A molds. I think they look amazing but i will have to settle for the 17s cuz i really want the 11in rear

i went on tire rack the other day and i saw that. When i was first thinking of this problem i thought it was because no one made the right sizes for it but i was wrong. I wonder how much it would be for a company to extend a 9.5 wheel to 11.
