Gen 5.5 Camry LE rim opinions

im planning to get some new wheels for my car. its a 2005 camry le, car color is phantom grey. i dont have a rear spoiler or rear disc brakes so having wheels will make it look wierd with the rear drum brakes. I have decided on these wheels from tire rack, and going to pair those rims with michelin exalto piolot all season tires. what do you guys think? i need as many opinions as i can to help me decide. to me these look fine, they cost $103 a piece so im not expecting them to be very well built, but im also on a budget, im currently looking at $1,100 after shipping for rim and tires.

EDIT: for those that are wondering the rims are Sport Edition F7 rims.

need more info on those wheels. i think they are 17',
if i upgrade i rather 18' or 19' rather than 17' bc 17' look too stock to me.

yes they are 17" rims. im trying to go for somewhat of a stock look hence why i picked that design. these rims are 17x7.5 with a offset of 40mm, will this fit perfectly with no issues?

Yea you're fine with that size and offset.

In my opinion i would go 18's as well. You won't lose any ride comfort. But 17 is fine as well.

i think 17's fine for an LE, you don't want to get too wild (ricey). remember that the tirerack's rim "garage" always make the wheel seem like its one size smaller that it actually is

if you do get 17s then atleast drop it so that they'll look a bit bigger.
