Want Rims...Need Help Clarifying Things

Hello, I'm looking to get some RoJa rims for my Camry. Either one of the ones pictured below like the Formula 5, R2-5 Mercury, or the Formula 7. I want these due to being forged and lightweight.



Here's what I would like to clarify:

First of all the bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3 correct?

Is the offset for the 5th gen Camry +50?

How much of a difference is there for a number either lower or higher than +50?

Would I have a problem with any of these rims due to the some threads I was reading about hubcentric rims? Something about the hub being 60mm and some rims having bigger hubs than others.

Could anyone help me clarify these things especially the last one. Any help would be appreciated. Oh and everyone enjoy your holidays.

camry offset is +38, so 1cm difference might be ok, as longn as wheel width isnt too fat . with aftemrarket wheels, get them fitted at a proper wheel place, they will be able to handle the hub centering err... hubs. if none are the right size, most places can lathe a set to fit. if the wheels arent centered they wont be balanced.

Gen5 Camry Offset is +50mm. And yes you can buy hubcentric rings.

Why Forged though??? Are you going to track your camry?

Actually if the wheels aren't centered, they can be balanced, they just won't run true. There would be wheel hop.
Symtoms are similar to out of balance or when a belt busts in the tire.

Nice wheels, I would pick the second or third but without the rivet action.

Offset for gen 3 and 4 is 38.
Gen 5 is 50 as you stated.

All the rims pictured come in a 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern (which I think is the right one). I too kind of like the 1st one a bit more, but all of them look good.

No I'm not going to track the Camry. Just don't want some 20-30 lbs rim on each corner acting as anchors. I would like some nice 17 0r 18 inch rims which would weigh 15 lbs (at least under 20 lbs). Plus these won't cost me any more than any other rim on the market.

I want to keep a nice cosmetic theme without sacrificing performance. Currently planning on getting my windows tinted first (which I've been postponing for the last 2 months), the wheels right after the first of January, and a Carbon Fiber hood.

I liked the first ones better, but those look nice too. Can't really judge until their mounted.
