S65 Wheels in 18's??

I'm looking for a set of W220 S65 wheels in 18's so I can have a dedicated set of wheels/DR's for the track....and be incognito. Does anyone make the matching AMG wheel in an 18"?? Tire Rack has the replica's, but only in the 19's.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Not going to find an AMG 18 like the factory wheels. Might as well get some S55 rears and have them repainted to match as close as possible.

i haven't found a set of 18" aftermarket wheels that will clear big brakes in the front. most aftermarket wheel setups require you to run 19"s to clear the brakes...

nick 55: can you do that? will OEM S55 rear wheels bolt onto the fronts? won't they stick out? any rubbing issues? what would you run the rears then? would you run 18s in the front and 19s in the rear?
