But yours, is not. Why not take it just a step further? Compare your camry to an LF-A, after all, it's a Toyota. Right?

And, I'm gonna bite on your trollbait, care to run with me around the mountain sometimes?

Heh, my car is slower than a TRD Aurion but suspension wise, is much more aggressive. Australia has all these silly laws about vehicle height and things like that. Regardless, it's still faster than 330. ;)

Yep, the LF-A is a Toyota. But the Aurion is... actually a Camry.. you did realize that no?

No one cares how fast your camry goes around corners.

I know right! It's cause it goes around corners real fast and does a near 5 second run to 60, but since it's a Camry, it makes no difference because it's an appliance.

Hate it to break to ya'll with your Are Double U Dee Beeeemers, but nothing less than a GT-R type vehicle is an appliance. :p

Since the Lotus Evora will not only have a Camry engine but also a Camry transmission in it, I wonder who's going to be the first to say it's a Camry. Hey, I'll be the first. ():)

No need, let's just wait a year until the FT-86 Coupe comes out and people will say it doesn't need F-Sport rims because it costs under $30K and is a Toyota. :awe:

At least that has some claim at sportiness and is styled accordingly.

By your reasoning it would look good to slap those F-sport wheels on Tundra. They're both Toyotas, right? Being the same brand doesn't mean that they are the same car and will look good with the same things.

After reading this thread for a while (and watching it get derailed..) Im finally getting around to posting.


MJinZ, the wheels look pretty good on a silver car, so for that aspect I would say go for it.

Unfortunately the price seems high. I mean really, I drive a VW with an uncommon bolt pattern and got some damn nice wheels for significantly less than that. I would look around more for some cheaper/used wheels that you like

Base models? They fit on any Lexus or Toyota with a 60.1 hub bore?

So because the hubs are the same the models are equivalant?

I drive cheap transport, it doesn't have fancy rims and never will. You asked for opinions, you got them. It is your car, if you want to put stupid expensive rims on it, great for you. I'm sure you will love them. When I see you driving down the street, I won't think a thing about them because I don't look at peoples rims. If they make you happy, it is your money.

But why are you arguing about other peoples opinions?

So which track is it that you're thinking of? Nascar? Seriously, I know you're all about trolling but dude...

A lot of things are "faster" on papers, the 330Ci is actually every much underrated, and weights LESS than that camry, and has MUCH better weight distribution. But I'm sure you know all about that.

Edit: fuck, I got trolled.

I owned 2 pretty shitty cars and threw rims on them. (I do not consider the Camry as crappy as these two cars.)

On my 96 Galant S - 17" Konig Maxxims
On my 06 Civic LX coupe - Honda Factory Performance 18"

Both cars looked 100% better from stock and handled way better.

Seems pricey. I can get a set of Enkei RPF1's for $1050 shipped and they're probably significantly lighter. That price is for 17's, though...I guess 18's would probably be a little more.

Go to a 1/4 track and post a timeslip...then you'll have something to back up your "omg my camry is fast" stuff. ;)

He probably won't make it there. He'll run into another curb on the way over to the track.

What's to say you won't bang these wheels too? Then it's just a waste of money. Replace the two effed ones with the same type and have done with it.

I've no idea what the weight of the wheels you have on are, but those IsF wheels weigh 22 lbs each. Couple that with tires and I suspect you are looking at a decent increase in weight. Not only is that going to hurt your acceleration but also braking, and potentially the speedo if what you have on are 17's.

Because your puny brain does not comprehend that this is a thread about F-Sport wheels.

But the fact that YOU like many others came trolling in to troll the car, :hmm:

That says a lot about people like you in life. :awe:

Um lol? Just about every car under the sun is faster than your 330ci. What does it do, 7 seconds to 60? :awe:

Yea you got trolled so hard! If only you hadn't trolled into this thread to begin with your 330ci! LOL, if I wanted a POS German compact that wouldn't last 2 days without being in the shop, I could have bought a 335. :awe: No honestly, I wouldn't have even bothered. I'd probably look at an IS350 or G37 if I wanted a compact.
