Immitation Toyota Wheels

My problem - I purchased some 16" wheels off eBay about a year ago. I was told
they were authentic Toyota wheels, they were in fact immitations. The more significant problem is they came without lug nuts. I went crazy trying to find nuts that would
seat properly. I thought I had found some aftermarket lugs that would work. After
a short time I knew something was wrong. I took the lugs off and found that they
had scared the mounting holes. They were not the correct lugs. The place I bought
them was no help. I was lucky enough to find the address of the manufacturer on
one of the boxes and bought a set. My problem now is that in the process of having
my winter wheels put on, my garage mixed up my lugs with another set. They were
willing to buy me a new set, but I no longer have the address of the place I bought
them. What I do know is that when I called the manufacturer they were surprised
I had a set of these wheels as they normally only used on an custom Camry that
they sell. I want to say they were in Louisiana, or Texas. If anyone knows about
these customized Camrys or has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

It sounds like you got authentic wheels but there are different regions that offer upgrade wheels. Most of the them are Enkei. At least here in the Nashville area they were all Enkei.
