Any rim experts here?
There is a new tire option I want to move to on my toy but it requires I change from my current 20x9 5x5.5 +3/4 inch offset to something at least 11 inch wide

Those are the tires I would like to mount on the closest thing I can find to a stock looking 5 spoke or SRT 10 rim that is as light as possible without bending. I suck at finding rims so I figured I would ask here if anyone knows of a brand that matches these requirements off hand

To clarify, you're looking for a 21x11" wheel with a 5x5.5" (5x139.7 mm) lug pattern and a 20mm offset that looks similar to a five-spoke OEM design or SRT 10 spoke design. A few questions..
Which five-spoke OEM design and SRT 10 spoke designs are you referring to? Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT? Pictures for reference would help.
What is the year make and model of the car the wheels will be going on? Having this info makes it easier to verify that the suggested rim has the right load rating.
Do you want the same "stance" as OEM? Asking because some people prefer the wheels to sit a little more outboard than the OEM configuration.
If there is an online forum dedicated to the car these wheels will be going on, you might get more specific suggestions there. Usually because those people can tell you which wheel specs/wheel designs can be run on your specific vehicle, which might need more backspacing due to bigger brakes or suspension component clearance.

Its a 2003 Ram1500 4x4 quad cab and the listed dimensions are indeed what I need to mount the tire I want, stock rims are the factory 20s and the SRT-10 in question is the truck/viper since they have the same rim design factory just bigger for the truck. I don't care too much about offset as long as I can have full steering swing with minimal changes to the inner fenders and can add flares to make sure it's legal and not past the body. I would prefer the minimum possible to keep suspension loading down since it already tends to kill wheel bearings on track/autocross.
Vehicle is axle flipped and lowered so I can easily adjust those those factors as long as nothing crazy like totally new one off fenders are needed. I am trying to avoid placing a one off order for these rims since I really want those tires in particular. Load rating will be nowhere near what is needed for stock since the body panels (fenders, doors, bedsides) are going to be changed to one off carbon ones I had made when I move to these tires.
Yes I'm aware it would have been easier to just buy a car that's fast from the factory, just heading off the comments now since I got to the point I am "committed" to seeing this though since I'm already 15k into just the engine

I've asked on the vehicle specific forum as well but figured I would drop a line here too

I took a quick look and it seems that 21" 5x5.5 wheels are pretty hard to come by, let alone in 11" width (didn't even bother with offset). You may have to go with one offs..
The closest I could find was the Replika R161A, but it's the wrong wheel size (only comes in 22x10 and 20x9).
from what i recall, 21s are an odd sizing, just like 19s. is there a reason you want to go with 21s other than to fit those exact tires?
perhaps with the influx of new SUVs with factory 21s, tire manufacturers are making more 21s tires? the only vehicles that come to mind are porsche and tesla wheels.

Im in talks with two one off companies right now to see who can give me the lightest wheel and best price
