  1. Last i read you are allowed a certain mm (wheel wdith) over the standard OEM wheel. Some car have muiltple wheel fitments BUT the only fitment that matters are the one noted on the placard.

    Eg. Lexus Is250 have 16,17 and 18 wheels with max 8.5 inch wdith on offer. The placard on the Lexus is250 (or atleast on the Prestige which comes with 16 inch) states all of these fitments, so you can go to 9.5 inch width MAX.

    What is stated on the placard of your car?

  2. If there happens to be an issue with anything wheels related, anything at all you are at risk of being denied warranty repairs. If it's deem illegal with the RTA they can use that against you and you have no grounds to stand on. Same with insurance.

    Check the whels upgrade guidlines on the net. There are strick rules to comply with.

  3. Toyota parts are cheap so even if they void it voids the warranty shouldn't we an issue. That said is power steering system part of the wheels assembly?

    The more concerning thing is insurance. if its illegal with the RTA most if not all insurer will not inure your car.

  4. they look alright. Love the colour. But I won't go 19. When it comes to change tyres I'l cringe at the price. 18's will be perfect for me :). But yeah, at that price I'm sure they're not that good especially when you consider that postage is free so imagine how cheap they really are :/

    The aurion is a big car, i think if you are going to upgrade no point in going 1 or 2 size up. they will look small so get 19s. With Wheels i don't think they are that pricey you can get around or below $200 for a decent one if you shop around. I would forget budget tyres because they are dangerous and won't last long, before you know it you will end up replacing them. Do it once do it right!

  5. Imo a wing type spoiler on a camry is semi-wrong. It's camry which is family car not a racer. If you get the type that sits flush on the trunk you won't get that much of a race look but will set you aside from the normal Camrys. If you want to be more different have it carbon fibred (or met black) don't go for gloss black.

  6. I used to have the eBay units in my Camry ,it was out of the car within one week loll replaced with this Toyota unit :D ,I had to buy 2 different harness from Toyota

    I too have a $350 ish unit and it works well, for what i need it for,

    That toyota unit sorry to say but it does not look good, does not look like it belongs there to be honnest. Very aftermarket looking.

  7. yes

    Thanks Jeff :) Also I'm thinking of getting 19s what tyre size would you recommend?

    What width? Guessing something like a 19x8.5, 19x9 around there? Something around 235/40/19?

    I've got 19x8.5 on my other car and you'd need atleast 235. go the 35 series. For 19x9.9 i recon you need 255 wide tyres.
