New rims undecided

[ptmari]

hi I have a LE camry and I would like to upgrade my wheels.

I have the tire for life promo when you do your maintenance at the dealership and if its time to change your tires they will replace it for free.

Here my choices:

Get the TRD 18" wheels with tires for $ 1900 dealership installed. And tires for life does not apply to these tires, Only the original tires that came with the vehicle.

or get the camry "50th anniversary alloy wheels" see attached link:
http://www.thetorquereport.com/2007_...0th_side5.html

for $ 800 dealership installed and use my existing tires and still have the tires for life promo.

What is my choice. I know the TRD is awesome .
Is it worth to get the 50th anniversary wheels?

thanks

TRD but not for that price, you can find them cheaper on ebay.

TRD 18" wheels

18". if you're gonna get the trd why not get an aftermarket much cheaper and you could choose the design you want. and just use your stock wheels when winter comes. you can still use your tire for life promo.

Id go with some other rims. For the price your gonna pay, you can find some better rims and with a FATTY lip too

Personally I really like the 50th anniversary rims, although $800 is absolutely ridiculous. One of the local dealers in my area sells them for $136 each, including the center cap. I seriously considered upgrading my wheels, but it's hard to justify spending extra money to upgrade the wheels on my Camry when my wife's car is a 2000 Stratus ES with nearly 200,000 miles. (It's a strong runner, but still- it's going to be needing a replacement soon.) I think she'd kill me if I showed up with new rims.

PS: The dealer offering the rims is Jack Safro Toyota in Brookfield, WI. http://www.toyotapartsmall.com

the 50th annivesary 800 bucks include installation, TRD 1800 include installation. If i get the TRD my stock rims and tires will be useless because they will use my TPMS on my new rims. unless i want to pay 350 dollars more on a set of TPMS. I think i will get the TRD and just sell my almost new tires and steel rims at ebay. I like the TRD because its OEM toyota

just my o2.
i wouldn't sell your steelies. used it every winter. i use my steelies every winter and my 18" every spring, summer, and fall. you know the roads here in nj every winter.

[Punks_Not_Dead5]

800 and 1800 even with install....is still way too much...

I just bought my camry it has only 3000 miles , im not sure if i will lose my warranty if i have my new wheels installed in another shop other than a dealership maybe suspension issues alignment issues ?? Tell me how much will it cost me if i get the TRD with Yokohama tires , balance, install my TPSM from my stock wheels and alignment, tax etc. I could probably get 200-300 dollars off but again waranty issue concerns me.
