starting with an auto may be the way to go if you can find one in good condition for $10k less than a 6-speed. but know that a V160 6-speed manual in good condition is going to cost you ~$5k. nevermind the 5-speed manual - it only came with non-turbo Supras, which means it won't handle the power of a turbo Supra for very long...especially once you go BPU and move into the 350-450whp range.
another thing to consider is to buy a non-turbo Supra, remove the 2JZ-GE and the W58 5-speed tranny, and swap in a 2JZ-GTE and V160 6-speed tranny as one. it may or may not be less expensive than buying a turbo auto and just swapping the tranny.
and i know what you mean about the wheels. CCW Classics are, well, classic on the MKIV Supra. no other car wears those wheels as well as the Supra i IMO.
