Are these rims original? Where can I buy them? (1999 Camry LE)

[Toyotall]

I've got a cracked rim on my '99 Camry LE. I'm fine with the look of the car, so I'd love to just find an identical replacement and be done with it. Problem is, I can't find any replacements that are identical. It's a 14", 6 spoke alloy rim. The symbol on the rim isn't the Toyota symbol but rather a circle-eight type symbol (or the infinity symbol from math -- not the car company logo). Anyone seen these before? Better yet, anyone know a good place to get one?

Edit: I've found the Toyota parts diagram, and this rim doesn't seem to be listed, but it's identical in style to the 15" alloy they offered (Number 4 in the linked image) except for the size difference and extra spoke.

That's actually a OEM 15" alloy with an Enkei center cap.

Thanks for the reply!

I guess I don't understand rim sizing then? I've got 70R14 tires, so aren't the rims 14"?

Are these the rims you're thinking of? They're very similar, but the 15" ones have 7 spokes instead of 6. Also, mine have a smaller center cap (the ones in that link go all the way out to the bolts, but mine doesn't). It's definitely that style, but I've not found any that are identical to the ones I have in terms of size and number of spokes.

Enkei are usually contracted by Toyota to manufacture their factory wheels. Same as RAYS for most Nissans. Enkei probably made their own version and replicated the Toyota version by one less spoke. Who knows though, someone can chime in.

The wheels you have there are called "port wheels" or adds-on and were available as an dealer option in 1998-1999. Those are going to be hard to come by since they were manufacture for one year. Try looking at some salvage yard but you would have better lucky finding the OEM 14" 6 "straight" spoke for the CE and LE.

Here's a site for reference for the port wheel

As xpeed posted, Toyota do contact Enkei and several other companies to manufacture their wheels. After leaving the factory, cars are shipped to different regional ports across the US. From there, they install accessories that is popular for that region. For example, cars bound for the north will usually come with extra rust-proof and undercoating while cars heading for the south might come with darker tinting. Port wheel are more commonly installed in the Gulf State (TX, OK, LA, AR, MS, AL and FL) These wheels either have the words TOYOTA, enkei logo, BSS on the center cap (or a "C" for the 12' Camrys) Port wheels tend to use the "acorn" lug nuts instead of the washer-style Toyota lug nuts.

Big thanks to xpeed and Yuko for the input. I think that clears up everything I wanted to know. It's unfortunate that there's no magic bullet and they're just hard to find, but that's life, eh? I might see if I can strike it lucky at a junk yard before I bite the bullet and see how much these things will set me back if ordered.

Thanks, guys!
