Wheel Quest

Spring is in the air, and with my pending suspension upgrade, I'm looking at new wheels again.

One wheel that I keep coming back to is this BBS on eBay



It's made specifically for the Camry and was an optional equipment upgrade for the Gen3/3.5. 60.1mm center bore, 5X114.3 bolt pattern, 40mm offset 16X7. Great price for a set of BBS

I know, a lot of you would say get something bigger, etc. so I want to narrow my question.

I currently have this stock 15" alloy...


If your only two choices were...

A) Keep the 15" stock alloy and just get new tires or

B) Go for the 16" BBS

Which would you do?

16's will look good. 17's look even better IMO. out of the 2 options, i'd go for the BBS.

i like the 17's that the current gen6's come with. as you can see on my vienta wagon in my sig. i have just picked up another set of the same wheels on ebay for just $336 AUD for the other wagon, i just thought i'd throw that in if you want to consider going genuine toyota instead of BBS.

Well, you know. I figured some would say "why bother". Like they wouldn't see it as a significant enough change to be worthwhile.

Thanks for the feedback though Bird!

Depends on how bad you want the BBS. If you really want them and plan on keeping them for a good amount of time, I'd say go with the BBS.
