Hi zagato from Romania,
Nice modes you are going for
One can see that you have been reading this site fore a while now.
Really hard to say what wheels are nicer, they are both really good looking.
Style 128's are easier to keep clean and the Style 172's are more modern.
Send in pics as your tuning gets ahead.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
I have a weakness for 5 spoke wheels. Most cars that really matter have them....

Well, just found out the following:
The 172 rims that I found are replica's
The 128 rims are 100% original
Both sets are brand new.....
not sure which one to get.... I would prefer original OEM rims then replica rims...
