5th & 6th Generation (2002-2006 & 2007-2011)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 2002-2006 & 2007-2011
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
Well, after much appreciated feedback, I've decided to go with 19" wheelson my SE. I've narrowed the possibilities to a few - the top being the TSW Vortex and the MRR HR-4 (below). I like both, but wonder if the HR-4 might be too much/busy. I also want to run 245/40/19s. It seems the consensus is that these won't rub, but if I decide later to run TRD springs, I worry they might.
I know they are just your opinions, but I would love any feedback. Thanks
i'd go for the hr 4. the tsw looks too much like a techart wheel knockoff for me...
i like the way the hr has a concave that makes the wheel look bigger than they really are. i'd run 245/35/19s though...
as long as you have the proper size tires, it won't rub, as the diameter of the wheel+tire stays the same... and buy the way i would definitely go with the first one... five-spoke rims are always the best IMO...

Pick #1. Those TSW wheels look sick. Very clean, understated...I like them. If they have them in 20" I might consider picking a set up if I decide to go up to 20...
Kind of makes me regret getting my 19" Axis before I saw those.
Anything larger than 17's will definitely be more noticeable as far as noise, increased "road feel" and a rougher ride. 18's on up will want to tramline (follow ridges in asphalt road). For driving in the "real world" you need to decide if these additional "qualities" are really worth looking "tight/cool/bad/hot". Cold weather (below 32 deg) will make these tendencies much worse as the tire wall will have even less "give" to it.
Do yourself a favor and get the new wheels but no larger than 17's.
