I've actually never bought new tires before, as I have a decent used tire shop walking distance from my house and I've come to know the owner well over the years. But I think these deserve some fresh new rubber. Where's the best/cheapest place to buy new tires? TireRack.com?

I'll take some more pics once I give them a good wash today since I have time. But to satisfy some people's curiosity here's my most recent pic of what they're going on..

^ no idea, my bathroom scale is way off otherwise I'd throw them on there. I was surprised at how light they were, compared to my TT's. I'd say under 20lbs each.

To get a rough estimate of what tire size to run you can try out the spacers you friend has on your supra wheels and see if it rubs and figure it out from there just post the spacer size and supra tire size

Thats exactly what I was thinking also. Nice pickup on the Volks. Me personally would rock the TT all day, everyday.

For about 6 months I did, haha. Both '99 400's. I sold the white one to a friend last year, so its in good hands. I just havent changed my sig yet. Will definitely be doing a shoot with my current SC and the Volks once I get them installed next week-ish

Both rides look very clean man, congrats!!
What engine/trany is in the black one?
I know you wanted to do a 5 speed, but did you decided to do it on the new one?

They're both 1uz vvt-i's, with the stock auto 5spd.
Yeah I want to throw in a R154 into the black one. But that's down the road, I'm a student so I'll have to save up a bit for the swap. It'll likely be pushed back till next year now since I got the wheels.
