Looking for some wheel options

I am looking for some wheel options. I've tried searching for some different brands and such but haven't come up with much. Hoping someone might know of some lesser known companies that might be good to look into.

I was originally going to go with the Cosmis XT206R, but after finding that they are 26lbs for the 18x11, they wont clear Brembos without spacers, and the mounting surface is machined flat with no cutouts making spacers difficult to run without cutting. So I'm looking for some alternatives. Everything I've found is either no dish or not concave, or not available in the sizes I'd like.

18x10.5 or wider (19's are possible but as last resort)
low offsets preferred but must clear Brembos
Concave, prefer a dish with concave like the XT206R
Not ridiculously heavy

is that the only style you looking for?

I also this Cosmis only makes 18", not 19". When they started a while back, they were making 20" but I don't see they do anymore.

I'd be ok with going to a 19, but I'd prefer 18. but must be 10 wide at minimum.

Edit: Ha thought you said size. I really dig the concave look. I'm open to other designs but want the concave and deep look.

If you're set on 18s, RPF1 are one of the lightest wheels around, similar style to those cosmis and can be had w/ tires under 1600.

I have a set of RS05RRs right now. I was originally going to get a set of RPF1s and make them my track dedicated wheels and keep using the RS05s on the street. I just rashed one of the RS05 so now I'd like to make those track dedicated and get a set of more aggressive wheels for the street. The lip and concave of the Cosmis make em look mean, but like previously stated they are a cheaper wheel and they wont fit without big spacers and I don't want to run that big a spacer in the front.

I saw the Miro wheels 398 at 4 wheel online the other day, and it might be a good option for you. Not the lightest rims you can get but the style and size fit your needs. The center cap logo looks cool also. Check out the Miro 563 wheels on the net as well.
