I have used Muteki. They are about $50-$100 a set; I think I got mine for like $55, but you can get other finishes that are more expensive. Just get the silver finish tho, cause the anodized finish doesn't hold up to s***... I wonder if the poly chrome finish holds up (that's the one thats ~$100).
Aggressive fitment anyone?!

Good freakin eye dood!
I'm running 17x7.5 with 215/45/17s on my car with no rubbing issues, and iON springs (larger drop than Espelirs). The 1999/2000 chassis should be able to handle the same, NO problem (former owner w/ Espelir springs).
On the MSP
thanks very much for the recommend. But I see someone else has them! What's a guy to do 
They're beautiful wheels, are much in the same vein as my Rage Vigors, just more spokes. I'll make the Elbrus wheels my summer set to prevent overlap with you

Finally got my new tires on this morning and after 8mm spacers all around and extended studs plus the mz6 front rotor difference.
Kumho Ecsta XS 225/40-18 (very square profile huge footprint) on 18x8 +40 rear and +37 front still slammed rubbing only when I accellerate, slow down, or turn LOL!
Soon to be remedied with some zipties on the front fender liner and maybe a little more camber and some more rolled up newpaper all around one more time. Also got on it a bit in 3rd where I can usually light them up easily and they didn't even break traction
Pics later
Very nice Shane, you should make some rolling and dig videos for us to see what your beast is all about, of course s*** load of pictures, Im a fan of your Little deadly wagon...!!!!!!
Sorry for little thread Jacking !!!! lol lol

yeah, i have a set of forged mutekis on the cheaper end. the lugs themselves are fine but the finish is garbage.

Good freakin eye dood!
Wow, that looks awesome. Really reminds me of the Miata wheels, which I also love on the MSP. (thumb)

Funny I originally wanted the kumhos but my tire guy said they were nowhere to be found all backordered. So I ordered star spec z1's and a week later dz101's came in instead. A week after that when he told me the z1's were supposed to be in, he said that they were unavailable and are tirerack only tire?? Anyway ordered the ecstas mon 3pm since the z1's were going on $100+ through tirerack with shipping got them the next morning at work before 10am
Hells yea man you're car is a beast, black with red trim would be perfect. Glad to hear the kuhmos are working out for you. I want to eventually put dunlop star specs on my 8" wide enkeis for the track

Haha thats kinda funny. At least you eventually got some sick tires. Perhaps i'll go with the kuhmos, would save some cash and they sound fun. I'm rocking hankook V12s on my enkei PF01's. Great performance tire for the money, sticky and real quiet.

you must have a different kind of finish. mine were chipping after only the second time i installed them and now they just look terrible.

do you use an impact?
i only take mine off and put them back on by hand, an impact will destroy the finish pretty quick

i just take them on and off by hand... i'm pretty careful about it. the finish is just super thin and not very durable. on the other hand i have a cheap set of hasegawas that are over two years old now and have been absolutely bullet proof!

Been shoehorning (newspaper, phonebooks, prybars and deadblow mallets) all last week trying to get my Ecsta XS in 225/40-18 +37 front +40 rear to not rub... I'm real close but these fit more like 235's since they are so square! Bodywork and paint in the near future

No fenders were already rolled needed to be pulled beat and cussed at to get about .5" to keep the sidewall off the inside of the fender...every muscle in my body hurts accomplishing this

Why didn't you just add a little camber?
