Can you weigh one or two of the stock rims and tell us how much the rims weigh? Just curious if they make them really light (or for that matter, heavy).
 
The car looks sharp- all you need is a lip spoiler!

I have to weigh one of the stock wheels anyway for FedEX shipping purposes, I'll do that this weekend and post. BTW The stock rims seemed heavier than what I replaced them with (the new 5-spoke).
 
Regarding the spoiler, I thought about it - but IMO Toyota did a VERY nice job on the rear end of the Camry, and the spoiler spoils that. LOL. Plus I imagine it would increase your drag coefficient, add a bit of weight, resulting in a net effect which runs counter to the whole hybrid theme. But that's just one man's opinion.
 
Again, they did a fantastic job with the looks of this car, and a spoiler is just gilding the lily. Now maybe if I was 18 again....

While you have that scale handy, could you also weigh the stock tire? I believe (based on data at tirerack.com) that it should weigh 21 lbs., but wouldn't mind getting confirmation on that. Muchos grass!

McGeorge Toyota in Richmond, VA has a base Jasper Pearl with beige interior not spoken for the last time I checked. I drove it around their lot. Very nice. Ask for Dave. I got my Barcelona Red base TCH from him. 804-755-9200. Can't wait to take it on a trip, but I am too busy working to pay for it!
