Update -- I couldn't write in the 1st post. Basically the crushed car was my beloved 95 Camry I4 LE. I purchased that back in 2000 =/ Years went by... I loved the car, I still love it. At the End of May, some idiot backed their Silverado into my car at an intersection...

Hence now I have my "new" 2003 Camry V6 LE, better car in every way against my 95... but I loved my 95 more than ever.

I am going to mod my wheels again... any suggestions? I plan to spend 1000 on both Wheels/Tires and Tinting my back windows (Rear and passenger).

that's sad man, but to help you, my opinion is to go with 17s or 18s. Some people even go 19s. It depends on how you like it. I like 5 spoke too.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into them -- I'm definitely on a budget. If anyone have any suggestions for 5-6 spoke 17's brands or anything, please let me know.

Fun twists I tell you ^_^.

I was rearended (before my Camry days) and the car that hit me from behind pushed me into a truck with the hitch and insurance ended up writing the car right off...it was messed up bad. Like yours was.

Sorry to hear about the accident.

The hitch really did a job on the car.

Now I know why some people just buy the hitch and never tow anything.
