You can not use the OEM lugnuts as they are too short. I'm pretty sure this was done to allow for a mid 20et without any concavity. Therefore just about any brake kit you can come up with for the car works.

While they may not be the absolute lightest wheel out there, I don't think it matters much as the guy won the pole at the 24 hours of Daytona was running these wheels. So I don't see how they can not be a legitimate track wheel. My seat of the pants feel indicates this is a very good setup.

Looks great. Congrats. They go great with the theme of your car.
The Nittos are on the heavy side from what I heard, especially compared to Contis or PS2s.
