stick with OEM wheels not reps for the 172's. Another great choice is the 167 wheels (M6 wheels). Miro makes a great rep for those as well...

another nice looking wheels are the miro or vmr csl reps

trinity autosport and eurorev carries them at a good price

pm members trinity autosport or nerweezy for trinity or john@eurorev for eurorev

I'm liking the 128's at the moment, if I were to swap.

Don't forget the good old 166's too!

Always my favorite OEM 19" option personally...

If you are considering OEM styled wheels, I would look into a set of CSLs or Beyerns.

Velocity Motoring 18" CSL Wheels

Velocity Motoring 19" CSL Wheels



Beyern Mesh



Beyern Multi



Beyern 5 Spoke
