172s all the way. But I wouldn't turn down a set of 167s.
Ditto

I prefer 184s over any other wheel style! Good choice!

Wow, you don't see many members putting 128s as their favorite wheels. I suppose you like the classic look of the 128s (and the relative ease of keeping them clean).

I think I would swap my 172's for 128's. Partly because of how you say 'classic look', and also as you quite rightly say, ease of cleaning. In the UK it frequently rains, I like a really clean car ( including the wheels), so it gets washed probably twice a week, and I probably spend as much time on the wheels as the body. Also I like to keep the inside of the wheel really clean, and thats tough to do with 172's.

My knuckles are constantly in the wars trying to keep those lovely looking 172's spotless

Love my 128s. They are easy to clean but you get a lot of brake dust.

honestly the 166 and 167's are my loves now.
my first love were the 128's

If this were a perfect world, id have some 19in 166's, 21in 128's and 19in 167's. I would be changing wheels monthly.
Stands to reason, AWG. Shoes for every occasion. You could be the Imelda Marcos of wheels!

128s are my favorites, but if I had a dark colored car I would have gone with 167s. I'm a sucker for forged wheels.

Come on AWG, you know that you really want the 172s.
