Get new glass (euro-spec) headlights directly from Toyota - you won't regret the investment.

What rims are on it now?

Note, the tires are low-profile, not the rims. Oh, and low-profile rear tires provide almost no traction, so that's not the best course of action (depending upon your application).

I believe they're about $250 each... not cheap, but the improvement is REALLY worth it. No more yellowed plastic.:nono:

If you're primarily concerned with performance by asking for "deep dish" rims, you could do this:

...however, if looks is your primary goal then why did you get a TT? ;)

I'm guessing you actually want both looks and performance, so 18s (or at most 19s) should do the trick, as long as you get them sufficiently wide with non-low-profile rubber on the rear to improve your performance too. 11.5" wide on the rear, and 9.5" wide on the front is a good balance with the oem fender widths. Again, do not get low-profile tires on the rear - they should be at least /30s (eg. 315/30R18s).

I'd recommend you do some research. Find your local 'hot cars' hangout or a local auto show and talk to the guys with the best paint jobs. Ask them who painted their rides. Visit your local speed shops too. I promise you that the time you take to do this research will be very much worth your trouble.

Here are a couple of starting points to find your local real 'car guy' hangouts:
Dyno Power Services Ltd.
325 Unit 31, Nantucket Blvd.
Scarborough, Ontario, Canada M1P 4V5
Tel. 416-752-3966

Redline
4736 Sheppard Ave. East
Scarborough, ONT M1S 3V6

Please let me know your location. Is "scarbrough" in the UK? I believe there's also a town by that name in Ontario, Canada...

Toronto, downtown.

Have you tried this place?

Imho, you want at least 9.5" wide rims up front, and 11.5" wide rims in the rear, with the correct offsets. You can't go wider than this unless you go widebody too. Your wheel's diameter is anything 17" or bigger, based on your budget. The weight (lighter is better), and the specific 'look' of the wheel also depend on your budget. Again, the widths are key to ensuring you have sufficient launch and cornering traction as you increase your Supra's other performance characteristics (horsepower, braking, suspension, etc.).
