Aftermarket rims

I have 4 rims in my mind for my 07 Silver Camry. Please help me make a decision. I'd like to hear some people's opinion on these.




These two are of same model with two different styling, one with brushed metal and the other with Chrome finish.

I'd like it if it'll look like this but I'm looking at 18 inch and ones on this camry is 20 inch.


And also I'm thinking that the one on this camry looks good because it's gunmetal color and the silver rim shine looks good, but on a Silver car? Maybe not so much.
Like this one. Sure it's on a Jetta but you get my point



The chrome finished one could be good one, looks nice. Looks a bit like g37 rims.

Lexus IS rim
G37 stock rim


I mean sure it's not dead on but it's close enough right? or not?


And this rim. I like it since it's it's a 5 spoke (or 10 depends on how you see it) and it's a similar style toyota/lexus is going for... but having some doubt because the cars with this rims I tend to see are Civic Si, WRX, 350z, tC, RSX, Mazda3 and so on. I don't have problem with these cars but maybe this rim looks better on a smaller car? Do you think it's too thin/small for camry?





And the Last but not least


I feel this kind of wheel with many spokes will look great on midsize to large vehicles. Since I'm considering 18 inch only, this design might give off illusion of larger rim diameter. This rim's finish is silver like my stock rim so it will blend well with my camry.


First three are 18X8 but the last one is 18X8.5. I wonder if that's too wide for camry.

Enough jabbering on my end. What do you guys think?

18x8.5 is fine as long as you stick with the right offset. Personally, I prefer the 3rd wheel, but its all down to what look you're going for, and what you like.

Thanks for the inputs.

I've narrowed down my choices between the Drag wheels.
I need opinion on the finish.

(#1)
I'm surprised that these aren't offered in silver. But I think bronze finish may look nice on silver car.

If I had a black car, I would have gone with black rim with stripes...


So It'll be in between the bronze one and 'Gunmetal' I've posted above. But I feel in reality it'll look more like black than 'gunmetal' dark gray...



(#2)
One with Gray stripes on the rim.

One with Silver - similar to stock rim finish.


I have hard time imagining my camry with these rims on. So what do you guys think? I like both rims a lot and I feel like it's going to come down to the color finish.

I appreciate any comment on this. I'd like to know your personal opinions. And thanks in advance

The first Drag wheel is a pretty blatant ripoff of the Work Emotion CR Kai, not that I'm hating since I happen to have the Rota Torque on one of my cars which is also a rip off of that same wheel... If you're ok with the potential knockoff haters it's a nice looking wheel, though I'm not sure how it looks on a Camry.

i would go with the gunmetal split 5-spoke drag wheels. Silver and gunmetal go great together, and i'm a fan of the 5-spoke or 5-split spoke wheels. i wouldn't worry too much about it looking more like black than gunmetal, that's probably just the bad lighting in the picture.

Hey, Thanks for the comments.

I didn't even know that DR-31 and Rota Torque were replica of Work Emotion's. Haha. Well they do look nice.

Thanks LE05. I think I'm gonna go with gunmetal.

Okay, I have one more wheel to consider. So between either Drag/RotaTorque or this Enkei EKM3 which one do you guys like?



EKM3

Or even silver? It doesn't look half bad.

Drag/RotaTorque ish look?

Okay, so there's also weight to be considered.

Rota Torque is 20.8lb while this Enkei is 24.8lb... Does anyone know the weight of Stock Alloy SE rim?

hands down nicest wheels from these four.
I would go with 18" just to keep at least some cushion for comfort.

I wouldn't do the torque or the drags without lowering springs. If you run small size tires on the 18's your gonna have mad wheel gap. Especially since those wheels are 'sporty'.
