Its a bit of a catch 22 because companies will not start making more 22" rims and tires until the idea goes somewhere.
I really applaud these companies for having to guts to try and pull this off.
Kinchy:
nice pun.
I don't really get people having a go at this, more options is always a good thing in my idea. Guess they would be pretty slick for trails

Tires is more the issue than rims, because Vernon's buddy got an order of a batch of rims from Taiwan--which apparently wasn't that hard to do.
Here's one of Vernon's rims he got built up.

Good luck with your business, I like the idea. I know some guys who wanted to start BMXing but gave up (and moved to MTB) because the bike was simply too small for them.
What selection of tires is available? It looks like dirtmonsters in the pics. I can understand that rims can be made no problem, it probably mainly means re-adjusting of bending radius of extrusion that the rim is made of. But for tires you need completely new mold, which apparently can go up to 10s of K usd.
