I noticed you have wheel weights on the outside of the wheels. I had a 89 non-turbo, with the white on white package. I loved the wheels, but someone put normal wheel weights on and gouged. You can get them static balanced. The weights will go inside the wheel. That is a beautiful Supra, they are getting harder and harder to find. Especially in that condition. If you haven't been informed it's biggest issue is that the manufacturer didn't torque the head bolts tight enough. This WILL lead to a blown head gasket if not corrected. You can find the proper torque all over the internet, I believe it was 79ppsi. It has been 12 years since I did it to my car, so I would double check.

This thread's over 6 years old. I'd be surprised if anyone is still watching it.
