The only solution I can come up with is the Mr. Moneybags method. Buy the mags, buy some wide rims, have the mags machined down and weld the rims to 'em. Shouldn't be a problem for someone who's used to welding aluminum (TIG would be best), but you'd want to do it on a jig (which you'd have to build) to make sure everything stays straight. While you're welding, close up the spoke holes so you can run tubeless. Then, since you're already into it for a grand, take the wheels back to the machine shop and run 'em in a lathe to clean up the welds. Hell, have 'em anodized while you're at it, at this point what's another hundred bucks?
Then, six months after you do all this, somebody will come out with wide alloy wheels and you can kick yourself.
