Is the wheel problem just as a result of track days or are all the cars suffering the same problem on normal road use .? Are the factory treating it as a warranty problem?
I never had her on track days. The abrasion appeared in curves and most of it in round abouts.
MMC treats it thankfully as a warranty case. They try to find a clever solution, not an expensive one which is understandable imaging they have to factor by 60 cars - IF it is a series issue.
The damaged wheel was replaced. But I don´t need a solution which makes the cars safe, but lesser enjoyable to drive - if the goal is to "rescue" the standard wheels.
Have P4SS owners who drive quite a bit checked their front wheel inner rims? Anyone with similar experiences? If not it should be even more easy to find the bug on my car.
It must be very inconvenient for MMC, also the fact someone chose this wheels at all for the whole edition.
It is also inconvenient for me (and probably other P4SS owners).
But the whole situation feels a bit different in comparison to deal with a big company. E.g. with a Mercedes issue I would order my attorney and would forget about it. To drive a Morgan and to share this appreciated community is like living in a village, not in the anonymous "Mercedes-City".
So I hope I´m reporting in a fair way. I am no pessimist and do not try to bring any destruction into the community. In our world of growing conformity we need companies like MMC.
I would swap the wheels anyway (weight) and of course I can not address the weight issue, only safety relevant to do´s.
Of course I would be glad if MMC could share some of the costs
for different wheels and take the Minilites back but I guess that is unrealistic.
Forgot to say, the most important is, that the sun is shining, yesterday I cleaned and let dry the airfilter, finetuned TB balance a bit and will NOW GO for a happy round with her
