I'm looking at upgrading to 18 inch rims and I am tossing up between BA XR 18's or BA Series 1 GTP wheels. Would like to hear what people think would be best. I am leaning towards BA GTP wheels as not to many cars have them.
Thanks Hoich

Either T3 Ts50 wheels or the BA XR ones, not really a fan of the GT-P wheels myself.

GTP 19's look great but smaller ? no way look out of place and will always be compared to the Real thing.
XR18's seem to look the goods on AU's......

Isn't it funny how T3 pilots, and BA XR drivers change their standard wheels for some nicer aftermarket mags, and lots of AU drivers get the BA XR wheels, or T series rims (says the person who has copies of the DJR320 mags)?
Personally, Have a look around at Bob Jane, Bridgestone tyre centres, Jax, Ozzy tyres, etc - they all sell some bloody good 18s, and you can usually get a good package deal.

Go the BF XR8 18's. Haven't seen them on an AU yet, I reckon they'd look good.

If you want to go another way, checkout the XHP Sabres in 18", full chrome or shadow chrome. They suit the AU's but I'm biased.
