TSW Nurburgring 17x9 +63. TSW Interlagos 17x9 +63 with a 3mm spacer. Currently run the Interlagos square with 245s and stock fenders for autocross (no bbk) with stock fenders and no rub for now.

Of course, these are peasant wheels compared to the MF10s, but they're light and do exist

Those are the standard S2000 offsets for the MF10's. Those are "best" for fitting without modifications.

i think these wheels will be with the car until it's sold! the only way i could see changing it up is if i got a wide body kit but that has about 1% chance of happening at this point haha.

Chris, did you buy center caps to go with the wheels? Are yours in good condition? Mine are missing paint around the center screw, which is frustrating.

The MF10s have a pretty good finish, thank goodness. I see yours have the same little dots on the inner barrel as mine. Must be where they held the wheel to finish it. Mine are also missing a little coating near the surface that contacts the wheel hub, and have small forging imperfections (uneven surface) near a couple of the lug holes.

yes i got center caps and luckily all mine are OK. I've seen the QC issues that you are talking about though. I would contact King and they will probably warranty it. There seems to be some batches where the QC wasn't very good and there are some issues both with the center cap finish and wheel finish. I heard they are replacing them as manufacturer defects.

Thanks for the feedback. I trust King will replace the caps.
