New shoes for the Camry - 56k beware!

We finally had a day with no snow and above 25 degrees! I had to change the oil today and I decided to put the new wheels and tires on the car at the same time. The new wheels are Enkei GF1 18x7.5. The tires are Falken Ziex-912 225/45-18. Here are some before and after pics.

















I think the new wheels look great. The car rides well and there isn't any vibration on the highway. Looking at these pictures I can see what my next mod will be!

Thanks man! I wasn't sure how they would look when I was considering these wheels. I went with my gut feeling and I am happy that I did!
Sorry about the car being dirty. I just washed it yesterday. It is really hard to keep it clean for more that a few minutes. It is either snowing or the melting snow and salt get all over the car.

This winter has sucked. Almost 10 feet of snow! We've had snow on the ground since early November. I can't wait for it to melt.

It looks nice. You're right though, the car needs to be lowered.

Congrats on your rims! They look good but they would look better with the fender sitting an inch or two above them!
