There are a few members here with Trafficstar wheels. You can PM them as a start to get their hook-up. Derrick and Stef at D2-Autosport (VERY reputable and a vendor on this forum as well) can likely help you out too.

The original brand is called Traffic Star made by Riverside Co in Japan. The same wheels are imported to US by Dazz Motorsports under the name " Maya" which is a brand Dazz Motorsports made just like RH Pros or RH Evo.

Just because its Maya wheels does not mean they are all manufactured by Riverside Co. Some Maya wheels are manufactured by different company. Another example is RH pro wheels which is another Dazz brand but the wheels are made by Enkie.

There are no such brand called Maya or even RH Pro in Japan. They are a brand that Dazz made.

Dazz Motorsports is known to subcontracts wheels manufacturer to make wheels for them under their own brand like Maya.

Another fact. RH wheels are NOT Racing Hart wheels. They are not same. Racing Hart wheels are manufactured by a company called Takechi Projects Ltd in Japan who also make Lowen Hart where RH wheels are made by ???, Enkie, American Racing. & etc.

Hope this help.
