Gen5 Can't decide on what rims...

I for the life of me can't seem to find a rim that I like for my 2006 Camry. I really like the look of the BBS but don't wan't to spend that kind of money. Anyone have some good suggestions? My paint is the Phantom Grey Pearl. Here's a pic I've been Photoshopping with different wheels. These are a SSC brand carried by of all places Sears!

Well, it also depends on your budget. I can suggest JAZ wheels for those that are on a budget.

I am a Wheel Snob, so only higher end and multi-piece for me, so I saved up a long ass time to get my wheels back in '02.

Let us know what your budget is and I will see if I can point to you in the right direction.

Don't really have a budget. How about both?

Lowered properly those rims should look nice. Maybe get them in a gun metal.

I'll probably go with a 17. What would be a good tire to go with it?

I'm on 17s with a 215/50R17 tire. Thats only .12% off of stock speedo calibration, so there's virtually no change in the speedo reading.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

I shop for wheels more by weight than by looks, but here are the ones I am looking at:

These are forged, under 1k for a set of four and ridiculously light.
http://www.6061forged.com/store/Product.aspx?pid=2
looks like they powder coat for free

from tire rack
Kazera KZ-S17x7
$129
under 19lbs

kosei K1TS

$199 and 14.1 lbs

Gunmetal is "out" now. Yes yes, I know I have gunmetal wheels but I got my Volks back in 02.

Anyways, I would stay with Silver... ALWAYS a classic.

Which one of these 3 would work with my car? Would I need to get some spacers?




1) 17 x 7 +40mm 4-100mm/4.5"
2) 17 x 7 +40mm 5-100/115mm
3) 17 x 7 +40mm 5-4.25/4.5"

Wish these were available in the states. Looks like they're only overseas...

TTE stuff is pretty hard to come by. Nice stuff though.
