Thanks. and yes, the rims are SSR Agle Strusse 18" 3-piece. Not sure the offsets as they came on the car, but they are staggered and the rear tires are 285s. fronts are 245s i think. I'm surprised you knew what they are. Apparently they are pretty rare.

The SC300 feels very slow compared to the Supra. Ride wise=the Lexus is smoother for sure(it's a Lexus), Acceleration=Supra(twin turbo running in TTC) night and day diff. between the 2 cars(SC is completely stock too, Supra's not), Suspension=Supra is much tighter and grippy(Lexus is old and worn out with 224,000 miles), Stability=Supra takes this too. It was well taken care of and it shows. I've never really rode in another SC, so I'm sure mine is not in top notch shape like some others and it could handle alot better.

their nice classy wheels, kinda different from what most supras run. i was eyeballin a set of 19's. you should keep them, maybe run those on your sc when you get some new wheels for your supra

If both cars had equal parts the only difference between the 2 is the SC with 1 person inside would handle like the Supra with 2 persons inside. Mechanically everything is the same(after you go aftermarket/upgrade) between the 2 cars from engine to transmission brakes and suspension and even wheelbase. The only real difference is the 100-200lb weight dis/advantage of the SC.

Ride wise = equal
acceleration would be supra since its lighter
suspension isnt that ride wise?
stability at high speeds would be sc since its more grounded with its heavier weight.

Thanks for the props everyone.

My wife chose a Cougar back in 2002. I wasn't even going out with her then. We met in 2005. She says that she is planning to just drive it into the ground because she doesn't really want a car payment right now. I understand her on that, because I pay a hefty payment on the Supra; monthly.
