First RFT's suck, my read tires need to be changed after 8k miles with medium aggresive driving. Now I am looking also upgrading the wheels to 19 or 20"
I think I will go with 19". I think these are my favorites
with
This combination will cost me about $2200 but if I go with replica wheels
and same tires
it will cost me $1600
Which one do you vote ?

definitely go with the one you really like. Because eventually you will ended buying those anyway if you go with the replica's first, wish you wnet with your favorite ones everytime you look at the replica's. Besides if you are going to get 172's, go with OEM's (IMHO). There are numerous threads regarding replica wheels here on the forum, just point your mouse to the upper right corner and type it into the search bar. Either way, post some pics when you decide and mount....

I agree, that was my gut feeling but I needed confirmation. Also first wheels are Breyton...
