I do not think so. The stainless MWS spoke wheels are perfect. They are extremely easy to care for. I've never done anything other than spray it with wheel cleaner and rinse it every time I wash the car. After 21 years, they still shine like they did on the first day. Theoretically there is a disadvantage due to the higher weight (higher moving mass), but I don't think that this is really a negative in everyday life.
