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.

Yes offset is different from AU onwards.

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.
