Foxtail? It’s all metal, and matches your preferences pretty well, except for the medium gap.

Or a Protostar. I have one and I love it.

PGMs play pretty well. I got one with hubstacks and it spins very well and it doesn’t vibe at all! I’m pleased with it and definitely have it as a good match up against the ProtoStar. But contrary to its title it doesn’t grind as well as I thought it would… so definitely get one with hubstacks if you ever do get one.

In relation to Ethan’s topic, a ProtoStar would be great. It’s easy to silicone if you need to and it feels light, but plays like a metal.

If you’re REALLY looking toward a nice metal rimmed yo-yo I would suggest an Atmosphere. They’re kind of heavy, however. YoYoJam has a nice line of metal rimmed yo-yos if you are looking for some.
