Hey all, i'm seriously contemplating buying some wheels tomorrow  the only thing i want to know is in the future when i decide to do a brake upgrade and use something like corona struts how will this effect the wheel offset? Thanks for any help.
oh, by the way the wheels are Performance Tempest
I've decided they look shithouse in chrome and just like that, although i was VERY suprised when put on my car today with a tyre. I have to say that they looked REEEEEEEEEEEAAALLLLLY good.

I always thought that they would look great on an early celica, you'll have to post up some pics of the car once they are on.
As for the brakes, I have MA61 struts which push out the wheels a very small ammount to rectify the chamber problem. Some people say that the corona/hilux/pug moves them out others say it doesn't. The biggest problem you will have onthe front is more likely the inner rim hitting the strut. I think the widest rim you will get on is a 7in. There should be heaps of room in the bum for some wider wheels.

7in. wide on the front is going to be tight and if you are considering a brake and/or diff upgrade, it is best to do them first. No point in buying expensive wheels only to have them scrubbing after a brake upgrade.
There are always other options with brake upgrades, so depending on how badly you want the wheels make the decision and live with it.

I have 7" wheels and MA61 brakes on my RA23. No scrubbing whatsoever with 205 tyres on the front, although it is pretty close.

i'm not sure if the fronts are 7" aswell, but i will have to check about that... if after future upgrades they do scrub can this be fixed somehow?

Yup, I have 205 50 16's on my RA28. The fit fine, but there isn't much room to move on them. The gutter bead on the tyre is only about 1-2mm off the strut and there isn't a lot of room outside the tyre either. The TA22's are a little different in the front end though. I recon that if you want the wheels, grab them and worry about the brakes when and if the problem arises.

If they do scrub after the brake upgrade, you can get the wheel hub machined down a little. I am not sure how legal it is though.

hey guys, i was interested in them for my TA22. I was lucky enough to see them on another light blue 22 one day near work when I realised I DON'T want them. They look great and really aggressive however the thing I didn't like was the way the spokes on them stuck out of the actual rim. I've always thought the celica looks best with some sort of lip on them. Ahwell thats my 2cents. how much did u pay for them, I'm about to buy the Performance Lotus style. I was lucky enough to get in contact with the Owner of performance wheels in adelaide and i can get the 16x7s for only $130 each. So plz let us know of any problems with yours boris. Coz I'd like to know before I get mine done. Cheers
