Best handling summer wheels? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey Guys, I have a 2003 Camry SE V6. I was looking to get some new wheels this spring/summer. I'm going to use my stock rims for winter tires next winter, and am looking for some good summer rims/tires. I care mostly about handling and am looking for a decent setup but am unsure about sizes. Looking for opinions on what people have used and what performed well.

The car is stock and I'd generally like it to remain like that. I dont mind used rims with some scratches, appearance isnt everything to me.

Hope you can help.

BBS RGR or Volk RE30 17 or 18, 7" to 8" width. Choose forged aluminum rims for light weight. They lower rotational inertia leading to better acceleration and braking.

Rays one piece forged wheels. Anything lightweight would be good, lightweight lug nuts as well.

theres a bunch to choose frm.

Volks and Rays both come from the same factory, but they're kind of expensive.

You can find a good set of FN01R-C if you looked. Those rims look great and are lightweight, though its cast.

good luck!

Out of curiosity, what size tire and rim will keep my speedometer accurate. When I had a civic my speedometer was off by about 5km/h because I went with a bigger wheel.

Ill probably stick with 17x7 and tires that are 225/50R17 in specification.

I'll probably be looking for used. I'll keep my eyes open in case someone is selling something on here.
