I've had a pair of different wheels narrowed before for $200 a wheel, it would only cost a little more to widen them to pay for the aluminum ring...

same here...

My SSR Sp1's are 19x10.5+30, but I have a spare set of 19x10.5+55 so I'm going to swap barrels so my spare set will be 19x9.5 and my rears will become 19x11.5 with 19x10 fronts

The Japanese wheel manufacturers won't sell rim pieces by themselves.

Aside from buying additional complete wheels (and hoping they have the correct rim parts) to take apart, this will be a challenge.
