I'm curious on the offsets and width on the stock tires, most importantly, the SE 18's.

 

[Area47]

tires are 225/45/18
offset? not sure

 

[GreatAvalon]

and i think the rim width is 7.5, but it may be 8...but i think its 7.5 inch wide

Looking at some wheels on tire rack. What do you think of these?

Ehhh. Not a fan personally.

What about these ones? I like that they are lighter, but they are also more expensive.

 

[Zmon]

Looks better than the other ones.

My neighbor's Maxima has wheels like those. His car is a pearl white and they look good on his.

Look at this post. These wheels are pretty cool. Maybe this will give you a better range.

Thanks! Though I am only looking at tirerack because they seem to be the only place that lists the weight of the wheels. I'm looking for both looks and function.

My basic criteria is:
-must be lighter than stock 17" wheels (~23 lbs or less)
-must be reasonably priced (less than $250 a piece)
-preferably in gunmetal or hyper silver / hyper black
-18" (because anything bigger violates either the price or weight criteria above)

If anyone has suggestions, let me know and I'll do a photochop.

Those are slightly better but I'm stil not a huge fan of the style for a Camry.

 

[Blochead21]

Did you photoshop those in there or can you upload a picture to their site and do that?

 

[Aaron_07]

Seems like everyone dislikes these wheels, yet no one offers advice on what would look good?

This is the look I am going for. (pretty the much Lexus / BMW look)





However, I don't want wheels that weigh 50 pounds each. (plus cleaning 20 different spokes doesn't sound fun)
It seems like my best options are either split 5-spoke or split 7-spoke (which apparently no one likes).

I do like these:

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=runWheelSearch&initialPartNumber=D675511445MG&wheelMake=ANDROS&wheelModel=Spec+D&wheelFinish=Matte+Grey&showRear=no&autoMake=Toyota&autoModel=Camry+4CYL&autoYear=2012&autoModClar=SE&filterFinish=All&filterSize=All&filterBrand=ANDROS&filterSpecial=false&filterNew=All&filterWeight=All&sort=Brand

but I am afraid the gray would be too dark for my cosmic gray paint. (I am a graphic designer and I prefer contrast over bland dark on dark)

If you are expecting people on this forum to tell you which wheel to buy be ready to buy a million set of wheels. If you like them then get them. After all, you are the one that is going to pay for them and look at them everyday. I myself prefer the five spoke wheel like these:

Also, Vossen makes some nice wheels. It all comes down to personal preference and what YOU like

You are correct. And I already knew that I would probably disregard everyone's opinion anyways. (if I wanted to impress others with my car, I would have gotten a Fusion or just about anything other than a Camry)

My goal was to try and get this thread about wheels moving along and to see what people like.

Also, those wheels you suggested are quite nice (especially the second one), but from what I can find, they are still too heavy. (and Vossens only come in 19-20" which both increases weight and tire cost)

Pretty much any wheels will look good with enough offset and lowering!
