This is a 5 lug rim from a 92-95 Camry. IT is made by Enkei.
It is a 14x6 rim. Reason why I need the info is because I saw a pair at a salvage yard that was closed today. I want them as a cheap set of rear "skinnies"
for drag race use.
I also saw of what I believe to be a set of Millenia rims.

Well, if they'll only be used as the rear wheels, for drag racing, I don't see how the weight will have all that much of an effect on your times. It's not like you'll have to worry about unsprung weight or overcoming greater rotational inertia in such an application.
And isn't the OEM wheel also 6" wide? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see the benefit of using these over stock wheels.
Good luck finding an answer to your question, though.

My OEM ITR wheel w/Azenis is 15lbs ITR rim + 22 lbs Tire = 37 lbs x 2 = 74 lbs
Camry Enkei rim might be like the civic hx at 11.74 lbs.
So... 12 lbs + 15 lbs tire = 27 lbs x 2 = 54 lbs
Weight savings of maybe 20 lbs plus less rolling resistance from a 175/70 R14 tire.
Just doing some late night guessing. The presure is on me because I also made a bet that my car will hit a 12.999 or faster by this weekend.

Ah, yes. I can definitely see the benefit of lighter tires (an oft-overlooked part of unsprung weight). Azenis are particularly heavy tires.

Hub bore is easy to fix via a machine shop. Bolt pattern is not, however.
Just type the car in the tirerack page to see what the bolt pattern is.

I know for a fact Toyota MR2s do use a 5x114.3 pattern as I have seen RSX rims on them before. also, i have seen some camry's with MR2 rims on them as well. therefore by syllongism, Camry's have 5x114.3
and as stated above, machine shop can open up your hub bore.
I was looking into using the RX7 spare rims with a skinny 16" tire, but when i ordered one and got it in my hands, i decided to sell it because it was heavy as hell. I'm going to try to use the volksk with some skinny tires stretched VIP style next year.
