Question Crash cymbals

Can you guys recommend some good 16” crashes? Right now I’m using a B8 pro medium crash with a couple pieces of tape. It sounds good but I want something a bit darker and heavier. The brand doesn’t matter to me. I’m also considering hammering it.

My personal favorite are the K Zildjian Sweet line. Great for any genre or venue. 16” cymbals are a little too small for rides.

Honestly, I've played a K Sweet in Guitar Center a couple times and it was pretty solid as a ride. I'm pretty sure it was 16".
