Mari,
The -74030 and -74022 are indeed Camry type numbers (V6 I think).
I would wager money that the -74022 supercedes to the -74030 and
becomes legal (and knowing Toyota I bet the -74030 goes to
a -74031 or 32 or 33). Still legal. IMO, of course, it's been a
while since being a parts manager (thank, goodness!). I do still
have me second gen MR2 parts fiches (and reader!). Knowing the
kisen (sp) relationship that the Japanese manufacturers have,
those Millennia wheels could have come from a Toyota company.
Honda Insight batteries are made by Toyota.
