If that's what they're doing it's not "slightly deceiving," it is utterly fraudulent. It's also, unfortunately, increasingly common: all too often these days people are throwing together pop-up "companies" that in reality consist of nothing more than a web storefront, where all of "their"...

This was my thought too... 700lbs load limit on a wheel has got to be a typo.

Hi all, My setup is definitely not as sexy as most of the ones being posted here, but I'm in snow country with a brand new baby in a carseat in the back, so... ;) Given the above, my primary concerns were traction and cost (I didn't need these to look good, I just needed them to keep everyone...

Ah, a couple of other notes: - As the Discount Tire rep told me and others have confirmed here, the OEM lug nuts DO NOT FIT the Liquidmetal Shift wheel lug holes (the lug hole diameter is too small), so you *DO* need to buy the aftermarket lug nuts (the nuts that came with the Discount Tire...

Well it's been quite a while, but I'm finally able to post some pics of my install (my wife had our first child in the mean time, so things have been a bit hectic around our house for the last several weeks ) To recap, I ended up buying a set of Hakka R3s at my local Tire Warehouse, then bought...

Interesting that the P and the LR have different wheel hubs! Hopefully the rings I got will fit. I'll report back when I know! Well it's a bit of a pain but I guess it isn't a terrible thing to have separate sets of lug nuts for the two sets of wheels. I'll be curious to see what the socket...

Went with the Liquid Metal Shifts. A few people have said good things about them. They arrive on Wednesday, and I'll get the R3s mounted in the next week or so. I'll post pictures. :-)

Excellent, good to know. I got the 18x8s (26lbs) for my snow tires... $533 wheels and lug nuts only, also from Discount Tire (I got a set of Hakka R3s separately).

Very helpful, thank you! I'm not familiar with wheel manufacturers (I don't buy wheels that often and it's been years since my last new set!) and I wasn't able to find much of anything in the way of real-person reviews of the wheels, so that feedback is really valuable. Thank you! I ordered...

That's good to hear, thank you. This was my first time doing business with Discount Tire, so that's reassuring. Thank you.

Oh the destination charger is definitely more of a PITA than a supercharger... anyway, yeah, if you charge to some moderate percentage (30% or so) and you make sure the car isn’t keeping the heat on or whatever during those couple of days (remember to shut off sentry mode if you have it on...

Hmm, I’m not sure about that. I tried charging my Model 3 on 120v power when I was at my parents’ house in Maine overnight once (where it was chilly, but nowhere near as cold as ggies07 will be), and it literally didn’t charge at all. The amperage of the 120v circuit matters: if it is a 20A...

Eesh. That's certainly a scary (and SUPER serious) bug if true. I just got the update yesterday and drove "Hold" mode today for the first time (I didn't even change it; after the update the car defaulted to "Hold" mode!). Was a bit different and I can imagine it'll take a bit of getting used...

Anyone ever heard of "Liquid Metal" wheels? Any idea if they're a reputable wheel brand? Anyone have experience about them either way?

Like seemingly most of the inexpensive wheels sold on Discount Tire, I can't find much about this company. Has anyone used or have any experience with Liquid Metal wheels? (I'm specifically looking at their "Shift" wheel for use as my winter wheels.)
