What size and color are these? Love to see the installed photos. I just got my Model Y back from the body shop for them to address the delivery issues. So my MW03 are still sitting in the boxes. Hope to get them on soon as I still have the interior delivery issues to address with Tesla.

The color of the rims and center caps are supposed to match the Jupiter Bronze from a Volk TE37! Center caps weren’t able to be powder coated because of material but the paint came out pretty close. Wheel specs are 20” x 9.5” to match the spec of the 20” induction wheels.
Ref Link: Martian Wheels
Code: TESLANTUNE
Code should work again for the foreseeable future for $100 off in case anyone is wondering.

Qualified and currently at the Division 7 Finals in Bakersfield @Famoso Raceway.
@Sam1 maybe one of these days we might run at the same track.
Gotta come to Vegas, or SoCal. I'm waiting go the airstrip to be available again to go run a 1/2 mile and find out if weight or aerodynamics matter more on these cars for that. Hopefully there will be a window open soon.
It's worse than the 20's with ps4s? Or did you have a different tire on the 20's?
What is the full spec of your setup?
Tire with and aspect ratio, and full wheel spec
I don't even see a wheel with ET28 offset.

That picture looks rough AF compared to the Titan 7s I have but then again, the Martians for Chinese cast clones of other types seem to be much better value - depending on what you are after value/benefit wise.
Will be finally getting my MW03 in 19x9.5" +45 installed this week. I am running oem specs on Model Y LR AWD and mounting the same oem tires. Will be able to give everyone an idea if my Wh/mi improves, worse or same.

You won't gain efficiency with just the reduction in weight because the Martian Wheels are less aerodynamic than the Tesla Wheels. In order to gain efficiency or at least maintain the same efficiency as the stock Tesla rim options, you would need to go with a wheel size with smaller width to reduce your contact patch. The unsprung weight difference between Martian and Tesla wheels would improve track times vs efficiency.

What is your deal? First of all Martians website states
- Light Weight - At 18.4 lbs, 18" MW03 wheels are among the lightest wheels available for Model Y

Second, Brian's wheels are also a custom offset for his application. We get it. You aren't happy with Martian Wheels and are happy with your Signature wheels. Let's put this energy into starting a thread for how much you love your Signature Wheels maybe!

Brian clearly say it’s 18x7.5 and you pulled up data of 18x8.5...( and it’s still heavier lmao) I love how people think a company claiming false weight is not a big deal...

You are correct, Brian did go with a 7.5in width wheel, it he also said that he has a custom offset. Therefore, you can’t simply use the stated weight from the website when that’s it the configuration of the wheel.
I was expecting to get at least the same efficiency as the original 20'' but it seems maybe the difference is due to stickier tires. The PS4s on 19'' does not have the foam inside seem less efficient than the 20'' PS4s made for Tesla specifically. That's because also at lower speeds like 20mph I can see the difference in efficiency, at this speed the aerodynamics don't play such a big role. Maybe the solution is to find a tire with low rolling resistance.
