18" wheels

So far, I'm leaning towards the OZ wheels. They don't seem to make an 18" wheel for the Aero (at least according to their web site) The 17" wheel looks nice and its the lightest I've been able to find. I figure they shouldn't be too much harder to clean than the '02 Aero 10 spokes I have now- and the darker colour may actually help a bit. For some reason, they don't show up on the Tire rack web site for the Aero, but OZ has confirmed to me that they make wheels to fit (5X110, 35mm offset) They look nice on a 3 series wagon on Tire rack. The only reason I was thinking about 18" was to upgrade the brakes at a later date, but that's probably out as I'd have to buy 18" for the winter as well (does anyone even make a 40 series snow tire?) I'm going with the EBC pads when they're due to help with the dust buildup.
I really like the Hirsch wheels, but even though I haven't investigated it completely yet, something tells me shipping four wheels across the ocean and getting them through customs may be a tad expensive.
I do load up the wagon occasionally (that is why I bought a wagon after all) and between campgrounds and city roads I think I'll just cross that option off my list
Thanks for the insight!
