I know it is not aftermarket but I kind of appreciate the OEM look. I have upgaded from the 122's to the 124's and now the 172's. What do you think? I am not completley sold on them yet. I think the Mtech could be the finishing touch. BTW, the 15mm spacers on the rears made the 172's look great!!!

Try 167. What did you do with the other 2 sets?

I sold the 122's. I still have the 124's in case I decide to get rid of these 172's.

I see what you need. You need the M-tech front, rear and sides to compliment the 172s.

Aren't those 138's? I always thought the 122's had 'blockier' spokes?

172's look great BTW and the bronze is really classy (and seldom seen)

I think for your colour and stock bumpers the 124 are the best wheels, however also with spacers, and maybe a tick lower.

For the 172s you need the M kit, but honestly the colour of your car would not suit it IMO.

Otherwise thumbs up for sticking with OEM - I like it that way too.
There are great aftermarket wheels, but I see them as appropriate only on seriously modded cars. Stock car with aftermarket wheels looks cheap.
