Martian wheels

[jb401]

Wow. That’s nutty WITH a spacer. And the manufacturer hasn’t gotten back to you? Funny that they only serve Tesla vehicles with only 1 wheel design. Smgdh…

Two. Grand. Gone. those wheels are collecting dust in my garage. zero help. don't get stuck.

That sucks. They should do something about that.

So far I haven't heard about any fitment issues on the 3 or Y. Maybe they are more focused on those models since there are more of them. They still shouldn't leave you in the lurch though.

How are these tires after a few months? Looking to replace the stock tires on the 19in wheels, and was wondering how the noise level and efficiency was as compared to your previous setup.

Sorry for the late reply!

I have had my set up on for almost 8 months, noise level has been fine (no noticeable difference than 19in OEMs).

As for efficiency, it's a bit tough to be exact since my first 4 months and 4k miles on the OEMs were in warmer months June-November (I averaged 255 Wh/mi). Since installing the Martians, I have averaged 294 Wh/mi over 6,500 miles but this was through the winter months.

View attachment 616958 View attachment 616959 Finally got her new shoes installed. Martian 8.5 x 20s with 245/45/20 tires. Super happy with how they look.

What color you picked for your wheel?

UPDATE: Contrary to all the naysayers, I still like my Martians. Downsized from my stock 20" Performance wheels to Martian 19" wheels to save weight and give me a little more sidewall to protect against potholes. My 19" Martians weighed in at ~22 lbs including TPMS sensors and balancing weights -- a nice reduction of unsprung weight of over 6 lbs per wheel over my stock 20's. I'm a happy camper.

They even look better after the coilover installation.

I must not visit TMC enough, to read naysayers comments. I’m almost OCD when it comes to researching products I buy and there’s no doubt Martin’s are great wheels. I’m running 18’s now and plan on buying some 19’s in the future!

They don't even look like 19" wheels with the car dropped. LOVE that lowered look. What suspension did you go with?

I have the same Martians in 20" and I love them, but I made a mistake and when too skinny on my MYP (went 255 square). Now I'm going to sell the whole setup and go wider.

I bought the Martian 20"x8.5" and am mounting 255/40/20s on them. Take delivery of the car today, pending no issues. I don't think 255s are too skinny on the Model Y. The car is not a track car and going larger will reduce the range. Would FasterBlaster care to post a pic of your setup? You might just be spoiled by the stock width of the staggered wheel set.

 

[FasterBlaster]

Oh there is nothing wrong about the setup. I think it's beautiful and I've gotten a lot of comments about them. It's just that I really like the more muscular look of wider tires. I only had the Ubers on for 150 miles, but still I missed seeing that when looking from behind. Now I want to go 265 front/285 rear. I know it will affect range but after a 1400 mile road trip recently I realized that it won't matter for me.

And man, I really like the lowered look of Trackjack's car! Has me thinking...

This is my setup:

Thanks.....I went with KW V3 coilovers.

Man these look great! I’ve been wanting to go down to 19s, I think you’ve convinced me on the Martians.

My friend curbed my new MW03s today

And after that they are still your friend??? j/k

 

[FasterBlaster]

That’s tough. Cause you can’t mad, because YOU let him drive it!

I let people drive my car, I’m not weird about it like some people are. But usually I make sure they understand how easy it is to curb.
