Martian Wheels customer service is just terrible, I would stay away from them. I ordered my set 4 months ago and still waiting for them to ship. They are still not able to confirm a shipping date.

FYI - I called them 2 days in a row. First time got answering machine. Second time they answered and were very informative and helpful. First time contacting them but am pleased with the service.

Anyone know where to get Martian wheels that doesn’t have a 6-8 week wait?

@MODEL+ So you have 18” martians in the matte black? I see them on your site but can’t tell if you have them or would order them.

I looked everywhere and couldn't find them any faster. I tried a DM to MODEL+ here, but he never answered. I finally gave up and ordered them directly. I'm now 3 weeks into my "6-8 weeks" wait.

I definitely waited way too long to order and will need to be strategic about driving this Michigan winter (ie. use my wife's car when snow is possible). The stock P Zeros summers are super slippery when temps fall below 40F, even just on wet pavement.

Just weighed my 19x9.5 satin black MW03's and they came in at 23.1lbs! Getting Conti Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus's coming in at 26 lbs. Only a 2.75 lbs savings per corner, but a savings is a savings, right?

Anyone else sporting 19x9.5's? What kind of rubber did you choose?

Nice!

View attachment 649711Here’s a quick pic of 19x9.5”+30s with DWS 06+ 275/35/19s (lightest tire I could find) on my stock 2019 P3D

Very nice!

So I was just pleasantly surprised to get a shipment notification and tracking number from Martian! That means it'll be less than 5 weeks from order to delivery! I'm hugely impressed.

Does anyone know of any coupon codes/deals that get more than $100 off right now? About to order a set of MW03s. Thanks

Suggest looking at Rim & Tire Size Calculator. Custom Offsets to look at the difference when choosing different wheel diameter, offset and tire size to better understand the impact.

Do you have 18", 19", 20" in mind? I can help you narrow down a few.

Do you have 18" martian in satin black in stock?

Here's a pic. They're satin black, 19x8.5 with Vredestein Wintrac Pro tires. I also put black plastic lug caps on it.

Thanks! How do they ride? What is your average kw/mi?

Well, the ride quality is subjective. I think they ride the same as the OEM 20s. The average kw/mi is about the same as the OEM 20s but I also have the UP front lip and rear spoiler. I want to say lowering the vehicle 3/4" front and 1/2" rear helped the efficiency some as well but hard to tell. I usually see around 250 kw/mi driving around 70-75. At the speed limit of 65 I sometimes see 240s.

That was quick I'm still waiting for a shipping date after ordering a set of satin gunmetal 19" x 8.5" MW03 on October 19, 2021. Martian did respond to an update request last week, and they said it will be another month or so before my wheels ship out.

I like the feel/handling way more than the stock 20" uberturbines. The car feels more nimble and accelerates faster with the large reduction in unsprung mass.

These wheels were very popular when they first came out. I'm curious to see what people who have put some miles on them think of them. Have they resisted damage and has the paint held up?

 

[EVolv3d]

I'm interested in purchasing these after a recent sidewall blowout on the stock 20" uberturbines w/ pirelli tires on a small-ish pothole at ~40 mph. Trying to decide between 18" vs 19" and 235 vs 245 PS4S tires.

Anybody with 18x8.5" or 19x8.5" regret their decision and wish they went with the larger or smaller diameter? I'm leaning towards 19" as a balance of aesthetics and pothole/curb rash protection for when my wife drives.

Following this. Curious to know as well. Looking to go from 19" OEM to 18" Martian Wheels. Also wondering if there will be any noticeable range increase?
