Awesome. I'm glad you did. Did you forward them the thread or did you ask them specifically:
1. Missed weights on all wheels and confirmed wheel weight by Martian and yet reducing the website weight by .5 lbs?
2. Load rating which is above and beyond any current manufacture.
3. Non existent warranty company.
4. Wheel barrel finish / forming not on par with forged wheels.
5. Verification of manufacturing pics of real forging despite weights being close to equal flow forming.
We discussed #1 when my 18" x 8.5" wheels came in a bit heavier than advertised, as discussed in post #278. As mentioned in recent posts, with CrossClimate+ tires, 45 lbs was saved (not including rotational inertia). The installer, usually very critical, was impressed with their lightness and quality, while they had great runout and required few balance weights. The TPMS also worked without issues, as promised by Drew. Others who have switched to MW03 wheels have also observed that the Model 3 feels noticeably faster. I agree and am pleased with these wheels.
In the more-recent email to Martian, I did not specifically mention items #2-#5 on your list above. But Drew answered my other questions. If you want to challenge their claims, please go to the Martian Website and use the contact information there, then let us know the outcome. Thanks.
