 Anyone seen nissan TRX 15's on celicas?

Howdy, I posted this in this forum as well as the tech section just in case theres people hiding out in here..
i was just wondering whether anybody with RA celicas (preferably ra23/8's) has put nissan trx bluebird 15" rims on them? I am considering getting a set through the parts forum, but i have little idea whether they will fit properly regarding the offsets, and i dont want to have to try them on so to speak if i check them out.
Has anyone put these rims on early celicas before? i know theyre the right stud pattern and should probably fit, i dont know whether they will sit too far in or out tho, which would be a problem.
Somebody must have tried these rims on a celica, because theyre not bad looking and i think they might suit my paint, and theyre bigger than 13's so i can get a better tyre on there.
Better still, does anyone have any photos of these trx rims on a ra23 or 28?? cos id love to see them.
What is the standard offset for a decent width rim on a celica? Do they differ in front and rear?
this info would be GREAT,
Cheers

tell me, what do the trx rims look like? cos I belive I might actually have them on my car. But I have heard rumours that the offset on a ra23 is pretty wierd, thus meaning it's unlikely to fit many other common day cars.

Yep that would be me,
i scored some off a turbo, 4wheel steer silvia. I havent actually ever seen these wheels on another Silvia since i got them either, so im pretty happy. They are actually gold, they just dont look it in the pic :

My offset is perfect but that is only because im using a diff that is a little longer, and it pulls the wheels back under the car. had to use 3mm spacers on the fronts tho.
I had some Sigma rims on it at one stage, and they seem to stick out a fair bit, (too far with my diff), i think they had a +44 offset or something.

I have had the trx rims on my ra23, when i had it!. They fit quite well with 3mm spacer and i personally feel they look great. Theres no problem really with the offset that the spacer cant fit. Go for it as ive noticed those rims going quite cheap around the place. I f you can get them powder coated they look great!
