Default best trafficstar wheels for our car

Trafficstar mz or sfr?

I have a broken trafficstar rtm wheel and ordered 2 new ones last week but was just informed today that this vendor can no longer get them. They said they could get me an entire new set of the above models for 3500 or I could get 2 new rtm's for about 2500 from another vendor and would then have 2 new wheels and 2 used older ones.

Is it worth it to pay 1k more for an entire new set of wheels for which I already have new tires? If so which ones would u put on an 05 LS? If not then why? Or would u just pay 1250 for 1 new wheel?

Between the three, RTM, SFR, and MZ, I would prefer the MZ. Although, if you liked the RTM, the SFR is closer to that style than the MZ.

how is carID so cheap www.carid.com ???

these people kill all of our vendors discounts by like $1000 on a set of 4 wheels.

the first women i spoke with said the wheels, in this case trafficstar, would come directly from the company river-side in japan. the guy who i just spoke with who may just not know exactly said the wheels go from the japanese factory to their factory in NJ and then in NJ the carID company sets the offsets and then ships them to me... this is now making me really worried about the authenticity of the wheels and accuracy of the offsets and what not,, maybe this sunday phone operator just wasn't 100% in the know.

i hope this site is legit but the prices are so low and the fact that the company is in NJ make me a little worried

I still love the old school RTS. They are just so clean looking. You are right on the price, pretty cheap compared with everywhere else.

I bet I know which one your looking at, lol!! Wish I someone would offer me cash for my 20/21 DTX's because I sure want those. Good luck!

I'm a fan of full face but I would love to sport Trafficstar SFR if I had polish calipers or big brakes.
