Don't do it. 172 reps do not have good reputations. And the 172 style won't look good in 18s because of its intricacy.

+1 besides the reps look crappy, there's a reason they refuse to post real pictures of the real reps in their thread here. the reps look terrible.

The above is exactly why I went with 19" E92 M3 reps. I couldnt't get anyone to actually show me their reps on a car.

LOL they look bad enough that Umnitza is afraid to put pics of them on an actual car in their thread. That, to me , means they look pretty shitty

heres a pic of mine on an 07 530. i had 2 bent OEM wheels so it was cheaper to get the 172 rep set then to replace the two factory wheels. they defintely dont look as good as the 19s, but they dont look awful. of course they are on my car and i have to look at them everyday so i refuse to think they are hideous.. eventually theyll be replaced with miro 111s

i just went out back and took five more pics to give you a better idea.. they are phone pics so they arent the best, but they should help. and for the quality.. theres a reason they are so cheap, we had to balance the hell out of them, but i havent had any problems in about 5000 miles on them.
