Why not spend a little more money on OEM 172 wheels (new 550 wheels)? They might/should hold up a little better. Sorry to hear about your wheel cracking, hope you get things resolved...GL

for replica wheels, one of the most reputable brands is Miro. but I dont think anyone makes a 172 replica though. if you want the 172s, best to go with OEM as Gene said above. PM me if I can help with anything.

Hope you have Wheel and Tire insurance, deep pockets, a heck of a lot of patience, and an alternate route to drive - it's not just the BQE that will kill your wheels and tires!
