Is there some muck on the bonnet in the last picture? 🤔

not gonna lie, the brand is pretty lame and so is their marketing. hyrbid forged wheels - a blend of cast and forged wheel? what kind of muck buys this? :giggle:

Problem is that they don’t seem interested in measuring the impact on efficiency which is a key factor for EV wheels IMO
I doubt any wheel brand is gonna do that if they're not marketed specifically for evs

There are several aftermarket wheel options for Tesla with specifically that in mind … the problem is making specific versions for other EV’s is not that lucrative, very small quantities …

Although not specifically for EVs, a winter wheel I would do. O.Z. Super Turismo Dakar. Off the rack fit for 21s.

THIS is exactly the point. Most of us are wanted to keep an eye on efficiency - I even kept the stock 20' wheels for the efficiency.

I would gladly entertain aftermarket wheels - but - not to lose 10-20% efficiency.

I stuck stock Porsche ev 20s on for winter. Work well to offset cold losses and take the brunt of winter road garbage. Offroad 21s with summer rubber go back on after temps rise again.

Exactly the way I'm thinking 👍

I'm moving to 22's with no care about efficiency. I will only be about town with the car, i can charge at home and I've got an EA station 5 minutes from me....

so my wheels will be about looks first...

Same here on all points. I just wished I had confirmation that ICE wheels would fit.

I think I need to get 20" wheels and winter tires. The 22in All seasons are crap in the snow. Worse than any AWD SUV I've driven in the past. Can I just go to a tire rack and get their wheels/rims based on manufacturer specs?

Drew at Martian Wheels has Macan wheel options available and friends have measured them as fairly good efficiency on Taycan and Model 3/Y. I have 22" wheels on my Macan and will likely do a set of 20" efficiency/winter on the Martian wheels, if I can't find something better that I like.
