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

 

tires are 225/45/18
offset? not sure

 

Quite the ultimate thread if you can't answer that question..... Lol Jk man..... :rofl2:

 

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

 

the stock 18 on the camry are 7.5 has it stamped on the inside of the rim

 

SE stock wheel sizes

17" wheels:
17x7
Offset 45mm
215/55-17 tires

18" wheels:
18x7.5
Offset 45mm
225/45-18 tires

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.

 

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.

Looks better than the other ones.

 

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.

 

i have msr type 45 18x8 save around 40 lbs all together with these rims over stock here is a pic of my car ! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...d=705489459479415&set=pb.100000551032908.-2207520000.1384731136.&type=3&theater

 

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

 

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:

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!

 

thats an extremely broad statement

ronal teddy bears come to mind.

 

these are a few of the choices i am looking at. all of them with tires are around $1250 and thats for 20s

i like this one :thumbsup:

 

opinions?

 

These look nice!

 

Looking at upgrading the stock 17s to some 18s. The wheel we are looking at has a 35mm offset. Would the 35mm offset be ok or should we keep looking for a wheel we like in a 45mm? Thanks

 

im not a wheel expert by any means, but +35mm should put it flush with the fenders

 

Cool thanks you. I figured the 10mm wouldn't be THAT big of a difference just wanted a second opinion.

 

I've changed my mind and decided that 19's will be the best choice.

A quick photoshop of the wheels I'm leaning towards.
Proportions may not be quite accurate since I haven't seen a good picture of a Camry with 19s to compare with. (and I couldn't find a good image to use) Also, the original car I pulled these from had a staggered setup so the back wheel looks deeper than it will end up being.

looks good. main reason im going with 20s is for price of tires, 20s are cheaper than 19s.

 

anyone looking for 16" wheels? these are on sale for only $39

Looks like only 2 are available. :rofl2:

 

Any one know how much a 18" wheel and tire weight from the SE? Don't really feel like taking one off for no other reason.

 

IT weight around 42 lbs.

 

Guys, what's a nice offset for our cars?

 

]You can use a wheel offset greater than 35mm. Original wheels (18 in) are 18 X 7.5 5X114.3 bolt pat I went with the Velocity VW825 wheel for my Camry. 18X7.5, 38mm offset. Fit with no probs or mods. Pics in my garage.

Do you have any pics where we can see how much they stick in or out?

Thanks!

 

Gbus, they don't stick out at all. I will work on uploading some pictures tonight. I am new to the site so don't know all the navigation, but I believe there is a link to my garage. There are some pictures there, as well.

 

Thanks, I saw the pictures on your garage they only show the side. I just want to make sure what offset can fit on the car without rubbing as I am currently looking for some rims.

 

I have these on mine , TENZO TYPE M 18" black with machined face.

 

Your pics are very helpful if I ever decide to change my wheels.
