I got rid of my OZ 18X8 (225/40 tire size ) wheels on my gen 4 camry for the following reasons:
1- tire prices jump alot over 17, about 40-70$/tire, if you want grippy tires which I do.
2-I fitted wider 17X8.5 +35 offset Rotas and can run 235 width tires with rolled rear wheel wells-no rubbing although 18X8.5 may have fit also but we're getting heavy:
3-I lost 4 lbs of unsprung weight per wheel
4-the 18's were white and powder coating was $100/wheel (I was vain here too)
5-There is a bit more give with the 17's but not that different
If all you care about is looks (or what you feel others will think) then go for the 18's. But
its just not that much of a performance car and the 17's are a more balanced, sensible path, besides,
the roadracers generally have 17's which says alot.
