If orders don't justify keeping a mold around, they will eventually trash it. Let's not forget that Japan is a very small country and space is crucial. Molds for wheels or jigs for exhausts are things that do take up lots of space.
Volk's bread and butter wheels are their Forged 1 pce and those wheels sell themselves. New color, engraving or sticker and people go crazy over them. I think that most of the popular Volk multi piece wheels in the 2005-2009 were two piece wheels IIRC. In the price range that they were at, I think people would rather buy a 3 piece wheel.
