I have been looking for a nickel roundwound in a thicker gauge preferably 50-110 and it seems like companies make them but no one sells them. I have spent a solid half hour looking on just strings and have even googled it and nothing has come up. Are thick nickel strings too much to ask for?

Here you go: Circle K Strings - Standard Balanced 4 Strings. All the way up to 106-254. Thick enough?

The gauges may look strange because these sets are designed for equal tension on each string, which evens out the tone, feel, action and your technique across the set. More comfortable to play and the stress on the neck is evenly spread.
