Why is it so hard to find wheels that fit over Brembo's?

Why is it so hard to find wheels that fit over Brembo's?

I have been searching for a year and every time I find the wheels I want they will not fit. Can anyone give me some specific places to look?
Yes, I have searched and have so many hits and subjects it is not helping...

Thanks,
htb

Volks, Works, IForged, HRE, DPE's, Axxis, Racing Hart. You can try Status, Ravspec and a few other vendors here on the site. Also check the wheel classified section.

Because Brembos are 4 piston calipers that are wide as Oprah and many standard designs won't clear them. So makers have to build wheels around this. Seems only the higher end wheel makers are willing to do this.

Maybe it's because I'm looking for a 'different' look... I wanted something called Britane by Niche but they were discontinued and I found they didn't clear the Brembo's anyway...

The search continues with the info on this tread...

Thanks

It's not hard at all. It all depends on the wheel design and disk used.
