Ummm.......well, just to make sure, you "DO" know that Spoon Sports is solely for Hondas only right? I mean, if you want, you can go ahead and do it, but there's other brands out there that sells similar designs as the Spoon ones, of course it ain't made out of Carbon Magnesium, but still the same look.

not sure what the J stands for but I would think you should go with something larger than the 16. Most people taht are going to larger wheel sizes seem to go with either 17's or 18's on their Camry's. Obviously it is up to in the end but that seems to be the general consensus. BTW the wheels look good.

Yeah, even the new Camrys (Gen 5.5 SE V6) comes standard with the 5-spoke 17" rims found on Gen 2 Solaras. Except they're gunmetal black

But yeah, these days, many camry drivers buy rims 17" or bigger. The only people that goes for 16" rims are Corolla owners and many Civic ricers. I ain't baggin on corollas btw, 16" looks just right for the Corolla for some reason to me.

just curious... i heard that spoon wheel only fit on honda. so....even the wheel size is (16" 7.0J+35 5H114.3). the wheel still can't fit on 2000 Camry I4?

thanks

as long as the bolt pattern and offset match you will be alrite...generally speaking tho, a blue are on spoon sw338/replicas doesnt look to good. You should checkout www.7thgencivic.com and see for yourself...

You also need to make sure the hub bore will fit.

spoon isnt only for hondas but they specialize in honda/acura parts. If your going any bigger than 16's, its pointless to go for spoon. Are you trying to do a race setup? Cuz spoon rims arent the best looking rims in the world... as you could probably see. It might be hard finding rims that will fit your application but if you want more info go to www.Honda-Tech.com and youll find ass loads of info.

if i may, how about toms wheels... they are light and have a close relationship to toyota...

other options would be the 5zigen fn01-rc, rays/volks gramlights....

HOWEVER im all about being different, which is what i think you would be going for if im not mistaken.. i say do it.. it will be yet another unique camry in this sea of trd kits and 18" rims...
