Martian Wheels MW03

[MatildaModelY]

Having a hard time deciding between the 19 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5. Please someone put me out of my misery.

And does someone know if the black satin is a matte finish? I want some OEM center caps and am thinking the Model X black matte center caps would probably match the Martian satin black wheels.

Interesting Youtube video with TFL and Drew Peterson from Martian Wheels presenting a set of 19 x 8.5" MW03 wheels. He says these set are about 21 lbs.

Yeah. rounding down is NORMAL. Only load rating is rounded up. #marketinglies

Watch the TFL YouTube video. Drew from Martian Wheels give TFL a satin black set of MW03s.

This is likely a dumb question but having never installed a TPMS before i thought I'd ask. Is it ok that they "float" like this? (i got these off amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N763Y3T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )

Can you take some close up pics of the back of the wheel around the hub? Sorta curious to put those rumors to rest that it is/is not flow formed.

Sure thing, how's this?

After 200 miles I cannot say the Martian 8.5x19 ET28 paired with Michelins PS4s are more efficient than my old 20” original wheels. Seems still far away from aero wheels efficiency. Could be maybe due to more aggresive offset combined with wheel spoke design being more open.

Thanks for those, that does look like rough casting that has been milled down some. Anyone else have an opinion on that? Looks like one section may have overspray, but it definitely looks too rough for me to think it's fully forged at the hub.

@Sam1 konigs must be forged too. Skip to 3:00. See something similar?

 

[SigNC]

those don't look similar to me

Agreed. Here’s mine.

Just for clarity, that's a picture of Signature Wheels, right?

Yes which is a “full forged” wheel. Which is why I am assuming the reason why all of you are buying this Martian wheels correct? Are they throwing the word “forged” to implicate barrel only or “flow forming” process? The answers are unclear. Titan 7, signature, and Jova wheels all have pictures of their manufacturing process but Martian doesn’t. Even though Jova wheels does have manufacturing pics I have questioned them on their “TUV” engraving on the wheel which requires them to be a certified company with a number. Here is HRE’s stance on it below.

Long story short....Know what they’re selling and know what your buying. Doesn’t matter who.

Just a preview before they’re installed!

Did those caps come with them? If not, where did you get them?

They don’t come with. You can buy them from Tesla.

That center cap doesn't look gold to me.
