classy rims...not chrome or racing

I'm looking for some wheels for my car, but obviously i don't want something to sporty looking becuase it is a camry, but i don't want chrome i was think like a 16 inch wheel that was subtle yet showed made a difference in apperance

get something that isn't too "busy" and has a simple design. Look at maybe something like ES300 or other luxury sedans for ideas.

I agree that the IS300 rims go very well with the Gen3. Too bad it's been done already by quite a few ppl. If this doesn't bother you, go for it

I like these rims because they are simple and sexy.

I'm a big fan of simple 5-spoke designs for the understated look. You should go with 17s on a gen3... I went with 16s on my gen2.

I must agree with the two previous posts. Go simple/sexy. You can't go wrong with a 5 or 6 spoke design, they always do the job. I would recommend a 6, though.
