Are three spoke wheels on Camrys !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ? Sadly, it was just the one wheel, the rest were steelies. Looks like it’s from a Ford Probe.

Awesome wheels on an awesome car! 3-spokes are awesome and get way too much hate!

The Es300 of the time had 3 double-spokes. Technically 6, but stylistically 3.

If we are arguing things...

This may be stretching the definition of stylistic 3-spokes, however.

I had a 93 ES300 with those 3-spokes and a manual transmission. Sold it in 2008. I hope it is still out there somewhere.

Manual was 92 and 93 only I believe. I really liked the car, but they did have some weird gremlins. The electroluminescent gauge needles constantly blinking and burning out were the worst.

Yeah, they only offered it for 92 and 93. Too bad they stopped after that when they introduced the 1MZ (US/Canada only; everywhere else kept the 3VZ all the way through 96). The Camry V6 stick was brought back from 97-01, but sadly not on the ES300.

My gauge needles worked fine, but the gauge bulbs (on the numbers) went out on me. I got a box of 10 for $3 (only 8 were needed)

Fun fact: the Camry V6 switched to an electric fan for the radiator after 94, but the ES300 kept the hydraulic fan through 96.

Ugh. Don't get me starts on the hydraulic fan. It's why I sold the car. Was overheating and spend like $2k working on the hydraulics including replacing a leaking rack that my mechanic thought was keeping the pressure too low to engage the fan. Then it turned out to be a head gasket and I was done.
