Hey! I have a senicx pr2 on my current bike, but just got a new frame and thought it'd be fun to try something nicer/lighter. Any recs that come in 165mm?

There's not really any worthwhile Chinese options until you get to the high-end carbon cranks like Elilee.
Avoid the Racework carbon cranks - see here:

Yep had the same issue with the Racework left crank arm breaking. I had two of these cranksets as well. The first crankset I swapped out the left crank arm screws for 2x M5 30mm titanium screws that reach further into the threaded screw section. The titanium screws also handles more torque. That crank arm is holding up so far. The second crankset left crank arm broke, so I replaced the it with an Ultegra crank arm.
I wouldn't recommend them at this point.

Currently looking at getting a set of these myself. What do you think of them?

Thinking about Fovno Aurora cranks too. To my understanding, the crank arms should be compatible with this power meter spider https://xcadey.eu/xpower-s-sram-3-bolt-110bcd and 110 BCD 5 arm Garbaruk 1x chainring?

Just got a set of X-CADEY cranks with PM spider, coming in at under 500gr in 170mm, available in 165mm. Gotta say I was pretty impressed with the weight and value.
-
So it looks like the fovno Aurora and the driveline zele are currently on the top of the list. I like the xcadey, but have a pedal pm already so don't need to spend the extra cash

Just got my fovno Aurora in! 617g for the 165mm with 52-36. Still need to get a few more parts in
