Default How to make custom BBS LMs?

I know the BBS LM is a 2-piece wheel. This means that the centre is one piece and the inner/outer barrels together form the other piece. Is it possible to make a custom set of BBS LMs for a wide body porsche where a deeper outer barrel is used, instead of using spacers to reach the desired offset? Does anyone know who produces such barrels? I found a few pictures of BBS LMs with deep outer hoops and they look terrific (see attached). I know you can get BBS e88s but those centers are much thicker, which eliminates the deep dish look. Maybe someone like Fikse could make barrels that fits the BBS LM centre. I know it's a stretch but I thought it was worth a try

I believe there a few companies that do this in California, check the pelican site. It doesn't come cheap though... last time I got a quote for about $400-500 a piece installed.
