[b] New wheels and tires! [/b]

I got new wheels and just ordered two tires!

Sorry, I know it's not for my Camry but I'm a little bored and some of the topics have sucked lately.

The wheels match my current wheels on the car. I am going to add the drag radials to one pair and hit the 1/4 mile to knock a few tenths off. Having the same wheels will help me keep the sleeper look.

Tires:

Wheels:

Here's my Fbody.com sig:

To keep this on a Toyota level I would like to say that my domestic car (Formula) is actually an import and my import car (Camry) is actually made in the USA.

That is pretty cool. It is interesting to see that you have a real performance car along with a Camry. Usually I see those hardcore performance guys refuse to be seen in a Camry.
Hat off to you.

I gotta alot of heat when I first bought the Camry. But when everyone saw it, they thought it was really cool and didn't look like a Camry to them.

I was at a friend's house once and his wife came out and asked him whose BMW was in the driveway. Another time his wife thought it was a Mercedes when only the back of the car was sticking out from behind the garage.

I get asked all the time what kind of car the Camry is.

Actually, the Formula gets the same results. People think it's either a Trans Am or a Corvette.

If people do realize that it's a Camry, hopefully they won't recognize me through the tinted windows...

I think it's because the mods are so subtle that the car looks stock. People just think it's a nicer car than it actually is.
