172s are 19" wheels, though, so if the ones you are looking at are really 18" wheels, they are replicas.
Replicas are weird. Not many of them are of high quality, because the manufacturers know they are dodging BMW on design rights and selling to people who are price shopping. With many of them, you get little vibrations that don't go away, no matter how many times you have them balanced. Thing is, you don't know if this is going to happen with yours until you own them.
Roll the dice?
