Sorry to thread jack but...

Contact pjinca for 172's. I read somewhere that he wanted to sell them so he could get different wheels. He's a legit socal member.

Back on topic with OP:

Though all of your choices are superb, 128's seem to be less common if that is the route you want to go. Honestly you can't go wrong with any of the choices. Sooner or later you'll want to switch it up anyways so start with one and go from there!

Ok, I think I like 166 and 128 a little better than the 172s, but I still can't pick one clear winner. I think you should just go ahead and see which ones you can get the better deal on
