Does big wheels look bad?
I have a white Camry and I wanted wheels like the one below at 19" or 18"

Op, not to be mean, but I think 18"/19" wheels are a bad idea, for the following reasons :
(1)- Performance almost never improves, though there are exceptions. A good set of 16"/17" on that car will do just as well on a track. EDIT - Please don't take a Camry to a track. Or drive on the road like it's a track
(2)- $$$ on tire cost. 18" and larger tires can get pricey in a hurry, and a lot of them are soft-compound tires that wear quickly.
(3)- $$$ on damage risk. Less sidewall = higher probability of road rashing/curb whacking them, even if you're a careful driver sometimes you can't notice a chunk of metal debris in the road or have no way of avoiding it (eg; 75mph on a freeway boxed in with other vehicles, and it just appears in your path 40' ahead).
(4)- $$$ in theft risk. Obvious.
(5)- Ride comfort suffers. The sidewall in a family sedan like a Camry is part of the overall suspension.
Big wheels can look good/bad/indifferent. I happen to like the ones pictured above, but I still can't honestly recommend it.
Sadly that same 99% usually have terrible taste and they sacrificed all that for nothing. lol.
Honestly, 18 would be the most on that car. You're still running into the high priced tires and such, but at least it's not a 20" wheel or larger.
Depends on the car. Those look pretty good and fill out the wheel wells pretty much perfect, and I honestly wouldn't notice that they weren't OEM wheels (which is a GOOD thing). Lower it an inch and call it a day.
Don't forget about the wheel's offset. Wrong = rubbing or ugly.

True this. My wife's Lexus has 18" wheels and we get about 20,000 miles out of a set of tires...if we're lucky.
Those are some shitty ass tire makers you're using.
They are Dunlop SP Sport Maxx A (Maximum performance summer tires). They list at almost $1000 for a set of 4 tires from tirerack.com.
We are on our third set with almost 65k miles on the car and the front tires are looking pretty worn again.

what tires are you running?
rims on a camry seem REALLY silly, but I guess it's the same for any car? Just changes looks.
Epic Lulz.
When Michelin (#1 tires in the world) warranties their Ultra High Performance A/Ses for 45,000 miles and the rest for like 60+
Meh, I don't give a shit really, Lexus is paying for the tires so they can put whatever the fuck they want on it. You asked me the question, I answered it. I don't see what's so epicly funny about it.
Front: 225/40-18
Rear: 255/40-18
what do you mean they are paying for it?
