This looks so good, how much clearance do you have to the Upper Knuckle in the front?

Just pulled the trigger on a set of these today (Gunmetal 18x8.5 with ET35 offset). Now to pick out some tires!
I’m surprisingly excited to remove the 20” sport wheels and PS4S tires, mostly for the weight and efficiency boost.

My first order was 5.5 weeks. My second order is about a week out per Drew which is 7 weeks for the second one which I assume is due to everything slowing down.

Looked up the MXM4s and they list rim range of 7.5 to 9 measured on a 8". This would be on the lowest end which means the tire would be slightly more bulged out relative to the rim. But yes you can reuse them.

Thanks for finding that for me. Looking at mw03 rims. I want a little bulge to protect new rims. Stock rims on my 2019 stealth are wider than the tire. W hen I pulled the rims to paint the calipers the rims touched the floor before the tires. Will go with different tires when these wear out (7000 Happy miles!)

The $200 discount code expired April 20, when I just squeaked in my order for 18"x8.5" silver and the outlook was 2 weeks. Their shipping seems reasonable too at $100 for a set of 4.

Just missed the boat on these with DT’s code. Actually kinda need them now due to the junk build on the stock boat anchors. I’ve never had a road gator (retread castoffs from semi) bend a wheel before but I suppose there’s a first for everything. Tire seems okay other than a nick and is still holding pressure.
welcome to the club, mine were not as bad but I had front and rear blowouts on the drive side sadly to welcome me into 2020 a few months back....
It seems codes aren't applying to items in carts so I'm figuring that our rn, in the meantime they did start a new program Martian Wheels
It states you get 50 points upon sign up towards next order ($50) so it might still be worth if I figure out if codes are gone for good.

Wow, must have been a huge pothole. There are services that can repair bent wheels for ~$100, but that one looks cracked and may be too far gone. Amazing that it still holds pressure... you must notice some vibration. This vulnerability, along with weight, is why I ordered forged 18" Martian wheels for my just-delivered M3P.

In need of a shrinking gun to zap a plaid with.
I dodged a massive blowout last night about 1:30AM. that’ll wake you up!
anyone know where the Martian wheels are made?

Yeah: It’s cracked bad but somehow holding all 45psi cold just fine. No vibrations but alignment is off.
I got a lead from my wheel guy on a replacement one already finished for $275, tire is still good but may replace it (discount tire certificate) out of caution. Will definitely need to re-do the alignment.
He did say he could prob repair this one for about $200 and respray it (which I may do to keep a FS spare.)
