Need input on new wheels..

[inthebay85]

Hey all, getting ready to get my Camry a new set of wheels and just wanted some opinions on a couple of my choices...

1-The first is an obvious choice for me because of the TRD theme of my car. "TRD 10-spoke alloy" (I wanted these when I got the car but I think there may be better choices, thats why im here =P):

2-The second set I saw on someones Black camry here on TN and though it looked SWEET. "Forte Tweaker F10" (Thanks for the idea whoever that was btw):

I think I like the look of the Forte wheels better but in terms of quality...they seem like they might be lower on the totem pole. I dunno..

I also will need to do a drop (I am pretty confident that I want 18" wheels) and am curious what would provide an even drop (I did plenty of searching on this one but I am getting different stories...) I like the TRD brand and dont mind paying a bit more for the name, but if the drop is uneven Ill look elsewhere

The tires I'm thinking of using (since the toyo proxes are a bit on the expensive side) are "Kumho Ecsta"...a friend suggested them, are these good tires?


also -- if there are darker/black TRD brand wheels that look nice I would be open to suggestions, but It doesn't HAVE to be TRD, just a theme I'm working towards since I spend a load of cash on the TRD cat-back)

thanks all!

get some mrr wheels or tsw wheels. since ur v6 u can get trd springs and just put the spring cushions in the back and you'll have a even drop. what color is your car and also try looking around as there are numerous rim threads. do what me and my friend did. go to a rim place, look around, and find what your looking for. if its a good place then they'll take the rims outside and put them against ur current ones so you get a idea of how it will look. good luck.

oops, sorry its a black se..

and yeah I searched many of the topics about wheels but just wanted some input on these particular two...Im pretty set on one or the other, just wanted to know what you guys thought...

choice #2 is terrible. go with TRD, though they certainly aren't original.

and don't buy mrr's, too many people on the forum already have them. be original.

Hell no to the second ones. TRDs are TRDs. Go for a unique look like scamry said.

And what's wrong with TRD's??? hmmmmm??

i actually saw them the other day on a black cam didn't look half bad. theres just way too many spokes. i like the tsw vairano much better. and yes i was going to get the trds for a while.

i dont like both of it
but i think the black one is better

Nothing is wrong with the TRD wheels you and I have Punks, only a few cam's have yours, and I'm the only one that I know of with mine.

But everyone has the 10 spokes or whatever that were an option. I don't want to see a car with "my" wheels. lol

there are much better wheels out there...try rbwheels.com

Nothing at all. It's just that you see them a lot and not only on camrys. I like to be different you know. I haven't seen any Gen5s with yours or scamrys. So i say keep the number at a minimum.
