Does anyone know of any places that sell 19" replica wheel style 172's? Ideally in Canada (Toronto). I can only find 18" replicas and really don't want to drop the $$$$ on OEM. Thanks.

Someone? Anyone have 18" replicas? How do they look?
Why not go for 19"

There is some on UK ebay here...

I've just bought 19" ones from the same place, they are sat at home waiting to be fitted so I'll get some pics up once they are on.
As others have said...get the 19's

Only OEM's will last...
I really don't get it. First you spend big money on a Premium car,
and then you try to save some bucks on the wheels and tires,
the entire car is running on
The whole driving experience is ruined with cheap rims and tires, got it?
