im getting 17" well i think i should, any suggestions on rims or the size?

What color exterior are they goin on? Are u thinking about getting tires too? I suggest 17x7.5 with a 40 offset if their available. That 1/2" makes a hell of a difference on a GEN3

go 18".

im going for 17x8 +35 with a 5mm rear spacer ... but thats a very limited selection, especially on TireRack

17x7 or 17x7.5 is more common, and get something around +35 if you want it to be anywhere close to flush ... 18s are a bit too big IMO

ill have 215/45's on them unless i decide that i need more stretch which is highly unlikely

I like how 8.5" wheels look on the gen 3 get that instead venom...

Those wheels are a bit on the heavy side. They're not the lightest nor heaviest, but it's enough that you may notice a marginal decrease in performance.

I would say go with 17x7.5 in a gunmetal-type finish, although that may look too close to EEngineer (although his seem like a lighter silver)

But I think that finish or one similar looks better than the black w/polished lip on your color Camry IMO.

17'', black polished on a LOWERED ride.

The rims on EEngineer is silver. With that said it looks really nice with his car colour!
