Question Lexus SC430 Rims on a Camry? or IS300?

I'm thinking about getting SC430 wheels for my '01 Camry this Christmas. They are 18's.......so I'm wondering, how would these effect the performance....and would the ride be rougher?

How much would tires for these wheels average for each wheel?




I was considering the IS300, but I like the flat solid look of the SC430 rims.

Ewww. I wouldn't get the chrome...brush aluminum only, I don't think chrome matches most imports, just my opinion.

I have 15's now.

me neither, but i saw a black SC430 with them...
and, i hate to admit it, but they looked great...

you probably already seen this, but it tell you what tire size changes do to your speedo...

i'm guessing as long as the total circumference of your new wheel/tire combo is too different from the original, your suspension shouldnt be TOO different..

however, i'm not a wheel/suspension expert, so, dont quote me...

I don't like to criticize other people's taste but in this case I have to, these look pretty bad man, it might look different in person or when we see the actual picture on the car but is there anything else you're considering? nonchrome is300 wheels are good
