Update: Looks like Modular Wheels the makers of the Marion MR3 Wheels merged with another company and never kept the wheel design program for this particular wheel! I AM SCREWED & MUST GET 4 NEW WHEELS- I loved these wheels and no way can i spend the $$ on a set like this, these were $1200 each and to get something 3 piece i'll have to spend the same what a freaking DISASTER specially after just spending 5k doing preventitive maintance & clutch and IMS,brakes etc last week! wow!

HOW DOES COMPANY MAKE WHEELS AND SIMPLY DISCONTINUE, NO PARTS, NO FACE FOR THE WHEEL, NOTHING, F***CKERS

SPECS:
MARION MR3 19X8.5 SILVER 5:130 et40
MARION MR3 19X11.0 SILVER 5:130 et52

Big problem! I have Marion MR3 19" Wheels on my car, the previous owner had put them on. They are beautiful 3 Piece wheels.. one of the parts of a spoke (each spoke is divided into 3) has a crack in it- REAR DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL-Tried welding it, it cracks again..


I have the reciept from the previous owner so called ASP performance in SF where he bought them..They checked and contacted Marion about getting a new FACE for the the wheel..Now they are telling me this wheel is DISCONTINUED and there is simply NOTHING i can do...this is a disaster...i just put a lot of $ in the car getting brakes, ims, rms, clutch, AOS, tons of stuff..and now this, plus those wheels are beautiful and look stock!

What can i do? DOES ANYONE HAVE A WAY TO GET A HOLD OF MARION? i looked online only leads to distributors..can they forge a new face for the wheel? do i have to simply buy a new SET of wheels? Everyone i've talked to has said since only one part of the spoke is cracked i might be fine, but i dont wanna risk it..here are some pics.. ps: dont need a lecture on driving with a cracked wheel, etc..

 

could have been weakened when powder coated if it wasn't done properly...these wheels can't be welded as they will fail again...see this thread if you are a non-believer...

wouldn't be surprised if you have some cracks in the other wheels...if you can locate a replacement wheel I would still have your other three checked for cracks....If I couldn't get a replacement or if there are any hairline cracks in the other wheels I would get rid of them (I wouldn't sell them now that you know they are a potential problem)...if you read the above thread you will see what happened to the member that sold wheels to another member claiming they were repaired (welded)...and to the vendor that originally sold them as "repaired"...I don't know of anyone else on this forum that has those wheels...sorry I'm not much help

 

Sorry to hear about your trouble!

Unfortunately, if it were me, I'd buy new wheels. I'd be worried that this might happen again.

Have you looked talked to any of the distributors who sell Marion wheels to see if they might still have some old inventory in stock? Maybe they can get you in touch with Marion...

I wonder if a company that specializes in wheel refinishing like www.wheelenhancement.com could help or point you towards somebody who could...

 

This is probably why the wheel was discontinued!!

 

I doubt that, this is a very good wheel and cost $1200 each. I think what happened is the wheel had a bend in it and when the shop repaired it they cracked the rim but ofcourse I have no proof
