Default Where to buy Maya wheels?

I think I've decided on Maya RT5s. Been searching online and have seen sales as low as $2500, but unfortunately they were expired. I'm trying not to go over $3500, including the tires. Any recommendations for online sellers?

I believe D2 sells Maya. What size were you looking for?

20x9 front. 20x10 rear. they have a couple different styles on sale i think. but the RT5s are more than i want to spend full price. also, i think i read trafficstar makes these wheels and have the same style with their brand name, which i would also be interested in. i'm looking for the diamond graphite or black finish. haven't quite decided which will look better on a silver sc

I wish I could help you, but the wheels and tires would put you over $3500

Riverside in Japan is the company that makes Trafficstar

riverside makes trafficstar and dazz just rebadge them as maya.

i agree with johnny, a set of rts in 20s, 3500 is cutting very close already, let alone tires

if you want good wheels + tires for 3500? my suggestion, look for used.

For the price range you are looking in, I think you should consider a different brand. If you still want custom and JDM, your best bet is WORK VARIANZA

Heres a link

i wouldn't mind used as long as i can find them without road rash. are there any places besides the classified on here and ebay worth checking? already checked them.

I would search on G35/350Z forums if I were you.

Unlike sc430 owners, G35/350Z owners are generally more willing to spend big bucks in mods plus the wheel fitment will be 10 times better.

I got my Mayas through TM Engineering but 3500 for wheels and tires is a stretch.

There is a sticky thread called wheel fitment upstairs.
Most of the wheels on G35 forums will fit your sc430 fine without any issue.

However, it requires fender mods if you try to put those G35 wheels on your IS/GS/LS.
And that should tell you why it is not a good idea to buy the used wheels from IS/GS/LS.
They will fit on your sc and the style might look a little nicer than your stock, but the wheel fitment still SUCKS!!!
(VIP car fitment on those IS/GS/LS is another story tho).

In order to be flush on 20's you would need to perform fender mods.

I'm not sure what your ultimate goal is. Do you want to have nice wheels or go VIP style and have wheels that fit flush?

Throwing nice wheels on with a nice lip and calling it a day is easy. Trying to pick out wheels that are flush is a lot more involved Fender rolling and plastic liner cutting can get involved.


If you really want to know more, ask D-man 63, He has the wheels you want and they are flush.
