camry audio/wheels upgrade

Hey guys new here, Ive had my 07 camry for awhile now and i decided I want to make some changes.

One thing I want to upgrade in the audio system. What would be most important to add? I was thinking I would add 1 sub, 4 news speakers and an amp. Don't want anything crazy, just a basic upgrade. How much will the head unit hurt the quality? How bad is it? I rather not buy a new one since I'm not a fan of any of the dash kits. Does anyone have a picture of a DD head unit in the camry? Also I think I am going to have it all installed at a shop. How hard is this stuff to install? I don't have any experience with this stuff. Also does most places let you order what you want online then just pay them for the install? How much around will I be spending for a medium quality system and install?

Other big thing I want to change is the wheels. I live near the beach and the hubcaps are rusty and look terrible? What would be the best type of wheel to resist rust/the shore? I will not be able to change them in the winter as ill be at school but its in NC so not too bad of a winter. Whats a typical size for not getting complicated? Im leaning towards 18 or 19in.

Sorry for the essay, James

get a subwoofer + an amp to power it
Get a good set of components for the front and power them with an amp.
Just leave the stock rear speakers ...

And for rims, 18"s 225/45/18 , and lower. Offset can be discussed by others or searched.

How did you get your hubcaps to rust? They are plastic with paint.

Better check tire prices before you commit to 19's
