Default looking for a set of light and strong 18" wheels that fit over my 14" Alcon rotors.

Dont like 5 spokes. Want something different. Car develops 600 chp on race gas so I need as wide a tire as possible for ocasional drag strip, but mostly for the open track days tuned down to around 440 crank (Standalone ECU)so I need the strength. I have a set of 18x9 Fikses for sale now with the 245-40 zr18 Dahlback Bridgestones, but this is too big and comes out past fender lip on rear, I think that 235-40's will fit better on a 18 x 8.5. I like some of the BBS, but everyone has them, I like the SSR comps but cant find them. I hate calling tire rack and being constantly asked what car I am going to put them on, as the car is so extensively modified that that doent matter. The Stasis rear upper control arm comes out more than the stock, sooo. Anyone got any ideas, I have a friend who runs BBS motorsports but I really want something different. I will probably mount hoosiers as these are exclusively for track. Any ideas? Car has everything concievable for susp, CO/H&R bars/all CPP and Stasis arms and links, toe adj. etc. But I need shoes to go with them and light/strong good looking wheels.
I am willing to go 500$ per wheel. Pls. help, this is the last step for a very special car.
Thanks,
Rod
