Yay, I picked up my new wheels & tyres yesterday!
They are 16x7 Performance 'Lotus' wheels, with 205/45 16 Dunlop FM901s.
Here's a pic:

Ohhhhh Ahhhh, very nice man 
Not sure if they look better than the others tho, I think they will be the type of wheels that will grow on me (that said I do like the co lour / finish!). The others you had seemed to match the car very nicely as well!
Cheers

Nice wheels mate ... I like the white ... gives it that Jap race look but still retains the old skool theme / look.

Nice rims Joel the look great but will still have to grow a little on me as I loved the last rims to.
By the way I was to wiped out from paint ball to come and get that puller i'm way to tired and sore to do a suspension swap.

Thanks guys, it's like having a new car!
Well, almost. 
It handles a whole lot better, I'm very happy with the tyres. The best part is not having to pump up a leaky front left tyre every couple of days though.
I think the offset is a +20, but I'm not 100% sure. It's cast into the wheel but the powdercoating makes it a bit hard to read. I'll have a real good like in the daytime & get back.
Luke (Thunderbird 1), after seeing your wheels I figured if they came in white, I had to have them! They're a nice looking wheel.
Luke (TheStitt), lucky you didn't come round dude, I forgot to leave the bloody thing out! I was distracted by some your english chicks my mum has staying with us for a couple days. 
As for putting a 4A into a celica, there's nothing really hard about it, just all the usual sorta mods. Use a TA-23 crossmember, custom engine mounts, TA-22 or 23 g'box mount, custom driveshaft or I'm sure the TA23 one would be the right length, but would need the yoke changed, sutup EFI fuel system, then sort out whatever computer you're using.
Or do what I did, & buy one that has one in it already!
Oh, & if anyone wants to sponsor my car, you can forward your proposals to i_wish@inmydreams.com.au.

Hey Ribbo, were you driving with your eyes shut today or something? I was beeping & beeping, but then you turned off (Forest Way).
As for the brake dust, it actually hoses off quite easily, I was very impressed.
