My apologies old chap,
I came to the conclusion that if said company provided the wheels at all then maybe i could get them in the 18 inch variety. |

Haha nice,
AU XR's you can probably just buy a set of genuines? Unless they don't directly bolt on? For those that are wondering 18's on AU's only came with VCT ST's and TE50's |

Nah the only copies they have of the AU XR wheels are in 17 inch.
The BA wheels they do in a smaller size than standard as well as the standard size.

AU2 XR wheels only come in 17, i had copies on my second last EL, which were made for e series offset - i've never seen them in 18, as they're 'copies' and the original was 17". Whereas a wheel like the GTP 19" comes in copies in 17, 18 & 19, as 19 was the original size. Go the GTP's, they look better anyway. They come in pre-au and au+ offset according to that seller. click here for 18" version
