  1. Well I've spotted a set of rims that I am thinking of grabbing, http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_clos...amp;part_no=816 As far as I see, being 5x100's theres no reason they won't fit this time around <_<
  2. Well I've sold my old rims for $700 which I thought wasn't too bad since I paid $600 not including freight. Now I just need to wait for paypal to stop processing the payment and start giving me the cash <_< Anyhow, looking at tempetyres, I've noticed only 1 would fit my camry and it doesn't look real flash.. http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_clos...amp;part_no=150 Thats a 16 inch, I've got stock 14s on there now.. I've found some awesome looking 17 inch rims for a good price that will fit, but I am worried whether or not they would be legal, screw up my speedo too much, or rub against the struts underneath.. 14-17" seems a bit of an extreme jump to me, what do you guys suggest?
  3. Nice work man, and here I was thinking hotting up my 91 camry was a lost cause.. Good to know so much can be done to them! Love the interior, going for the red/black theme inside and out myself, but long way to go before I can getting it looking as nice as yours. As for the turbo, hell I wouldn't know where to start :P
  4. Cheers for the tips guys, seems I rushed into the purchase without enough research. Yeah I looked it up and the US' 1991 model is actually Australia's 1992, and of course in 92 the stud pattern changed <_< Bit of a slap in the face when the first thing you attempt to add ends up not fitting, but with luck I'll be able to re-sell the rims and pick up another set a bit cheaper. That is a nice ride 89Camry, similar to what I am hoping to get mine too eventually, I'll have a look at tempetyres and see if I can find anything that might fit.
  5. Well every quote I got around here, for a set of 16 inch rims (some of which didn't even look nice at all), were more around the $2500-3000 mark. Ebay seemed to be the only means of getting a decent set at a good price, and none were available from Australia. I have a mate that used Ebay to grab some rims for his WRX and he has no problems at all, looks like your right I must have just found a dodgy listing <_< But yeah seems getting a kit is on hold, but I wouldn't have been suprised if an imported body kit needed some adjustments in order to fit properly, just didn't expect to be screwed over on the rims..
  6. So I got this 1991 camry about a year ago; red, manuel 100k on the clock and in good nick. It was owned by an old granny, which meant it was looked after, but looked like crap. So I began my attempts to hot it up.. I began on the interior, some nice 6x5 speakers in the back, 4 inches in the dash and a 400w sub and amp in the boot. I tossed on some seat covers, interior neons and started work on re-carpeting. Next was the expensive part.. the exterior, first I was going for a body kit, however I soon found myself facing 2 problems. 1. I live in Australia, the options availible to hot up an old camry are almost non-existant and I didn't really want to pay for a custom kit, I'd rather one made for the car. 2. With stock rims, fitting a body kit would be stupid. So I began researching and soon found I could pick up this nice set of 16 inch rims off of Ebay imported from america to my front door for around 1200 AUSD. These rims were clearly labeled as being compatible with a 91 Camry So I went off and grabbed them... The rims came yesterday and today I decided I'd best 'play it safe' and check to make sure they fit before I go and get some tyres for them. And.. bang, they didn't.. the nuts simply don't line up, the width of the holes on the rim are far too wide for the screws. So I am here, after some help with a few things.. Can/should I get new calipers and whatnot fitted to match the rims..? Is it common knowledge that camrys in the US and Australia are not the same, or did I just get ripped off? Cheers for any help guys, so far working on this car has been alot of 'learning it the hard way', but I wasn't expecting to fork out 2 grand for rims that don't even come close to fitting :(
