Find them at Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels also when they talk about rotating mass, they are absolutely correct. Your stock pulley on your 7M weighs 11 pounds.. the Unorthodox Racing pulley weighs about a pound. It will run about $200 from a store.. look for it on ebay. But reducing any weight on wheels or tires will make huge differences. Just remember that if you change your rim size that you might want to get your speedometer readjusted.. actually I'm not sure if you have to on Supras. Be sure to find out though.
Tell me how long your engine last before the vibrations from the balancer you pulled off. It's not worth the money. If you buy an underdrive pulley your taking off the dampener that keeps your engine from knocking or vibrating too much which will destroy your bearing. Only worth it if its a strictly race or drag car. Buy an underdrive that has a dampener on it... it's about 800 bucks though....
