The CETA is a daily driver, bought the wheels 99% for looks, only mod to the car is a LM1 anyway. The Nittos wear the best of any of the drag radials, and the Kuhmos matched the tread pattern of the Nittos the best of any of the common radials guys use for front runners.

Did these wheels work with the factory wheel studs or did you have to change them? The wheels look great, BTW!! I'm thinking about getting a set for mine and am wondering what I'll run into making the change...

Got the wheels on today guys, let me tell you it was more of a chore than I thought it would be, the fronts went on fine no issues at all, the rears, well...... I am all stock as far as suspension goes
1. I had to BFH the hell out of the inners, no biggy, knew I might need some of that
2. The passenger side LCA, I had to hammer the **** out of the lip on it to clear the tire, not something I had expected to do, the driverside LCA was fine, which makes me scratch my head.
3. Both rear calipers required grinding of the three nubs on the inner side of the caliper, again, dont know why my car was different, no one yet has had to grind theirs with the RTS.
But the payoff is .......UNBELIEVABLE!
My CETA is in BEAST MODE!
(Sorry for the low light pics, I was running out of daylight)

They will work with the factory studs as long as you get the shank type lugnut with washers

Thanks for the info! Are you running 275/60r15s in the rear? I was under the impression that they would clear w/o any hammering. I'm probably going w/some 275/50r15s when I make the switch.
