Im going to bolt the Solara wheel on the front of the SC Monday. I weighed it its 35lbs. with the current tire. Since the tire is bad Im going for a lightweight tire to get under 35 compared to 48 on the o.e. spare.

I tried the 2000 Solara aluminum wheel on the front of my 95 SC400 today, and it fit perfectly. Also using the fact. lug nuts. It runs a 205/60/16 tire. I am still neg. price, but expect to pay around $25.00 for a used wheel.

Thats a pretty good deal for only $25 dollars and you save a few lbs.

$25 for ~15lb is a good deal in my book.
