Opinions on Wheels

Alright guys, I'm planning on getting some new wheels. I've got it down to three choices and I would like your opinions on which ones I should get.

5+


DM5


RSF2


The RSF2 is the cheapest, and also the ones I initially wanted back in the fall when I got my car. All three are Enkei. If there is anything wrong with Enkei that I should really know about, please tell me.

The DM5 and RSF2 wheels will probablly look better on a Gen 3 Camry than the 5+. The lines of the DM5 are more rounded, suiting the round body shape of the car more than the RSF2, but the 5+ is just too angular to work well... The 5+ would prolly look hype on a Gen4 Camry

I'm planning to get them from Discount Tire. 17x7 for the DM5 is $175 in Silver, $187 in Anthracite, per wheel. I'm also planning on getting Kumho Ecsta KH11 tires from Tire Rack. 215/50WR17 Does that sound right?

That sounds about right. I have lower profile tires but that's really not neccesary. I have 215/45/17, they fit fine, no rubbing or anything. Enkei is a great wheel. I have the older CDR-9's but I still love them and they're great quality. I got mine from discount tire as well, they do a great job. Good luck with everything.
P.S. Get the Dm5 they would look sick on a gen 3!

i like the DM5's. i'd go with 18 inchers too if you're not too worried about performance.

215/45/17 are the rite tyres for you. the question i have is, why the KH11? they dont have warranty here in canada. kumho canada does not carry the KH11 here, so therefore no road hazzard protection. if you wanna run asymetric/directional tyres then go for it ! but they not that great for rotation, since you can only rotate them front/back. and if you dont have good alignment or good camber corretion (thats if you lowered your car) you will feel the loss in traction once the tyres go past 30-40% used.

dunno my two cents !!
