I'm looking at the 3rd one down (can't afford the chrome ones). Just wondering if anyone has actually seen these in person, preferably installed. I'd go for bigger rims, but I just bought new tires in September and don't want to have to get new tires again.

Those look like anice design, but would have been better if it was a bigger size.

I was just gonna say.. 15's on a camry?? that would look funny! wtf is Toyota still using 15's on such a big-looking car?? Even the 16's on the top look too small on the new cams.. I'd like to see those 17's though.. I haven't seen any car around here with those rims.. I don't think they're available in Canada.

Go aftermarket and you can buy bling bling for lots less.

I know, but I don't really want bling bling, and I want to have that Toyota T on them too. A sleek, sporty look is what I'm going for. I've found these going for around $500 for a set of 4. I know that I have 15" wheels, but I'm kind of stuck with my tires. Trying to sell them won't be worth it, and they are supposed to last me for a long time (80k mile warranty).

Are you buying these seperately from Toyota, or from somewhere else? I'm just curious because the 16 inch wheels at the top caught my interest, and I didn't know if you could just walk into your local Toyota dealer and buy the wheels. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you can order them from Toyota. I've seen them being sold on Toyota dealers' websites.

Buy them off Ebay.

Stock tires suck anyways. Had to change them on our Gen5 Already. 60K KM.

I haven't been able to find these on eBay, at least a complete set. With the price of shipping, I might as well get them at the dealer, and yes, the stock tires suck. I changed them with Goodyear Assurance Tripletreds at 26K.

save up money and get better ones...

They look OK in person. I still prefer 16's (first on the pic) or the gen 5 (not 5.5 xle 16's). They look sweet on my gen4.

^the first one is actually 17 inch, it's on the new SE camry, 16 is a typo

xmikeyx · 03-07-2005, 06:46 PM

The 3rd one down is actually standard on the LE v6 for 04 and up I think. Perhaps you can try finding one on the road or go to the dealer and ask to check out and LE V6.

I've seen it in person; they look nice, but nothing special...

t^3 · 03-07-2005, 06:52 PM

You're right - I forgot to check that. Hopefully I can find one.

Edit: It took over an hour of searching online, but I finally found a dealer that had an actual picture of one installed on a new Camry. Like everyone has said, they just need to be bigger.
