Default Mayas/TrafficStars

The Maya RT5 and the TrafficStar RTS (I think) both look the same. What's the difference?

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.

There was a dicussion about this awhile back (the above excerpt was taken from that thread)
Here's a link to that thread

Thanks Sieze for posting that link.

LexusDubs, what was incorrect. I had to take it as fact since I don't know any better. I need you to clarify what was incorrect, so I have good info.

Help!

Ahhhhh, OK, thanks.

So basically, just find the best deal on the Maya or the Trafficstar, since it's the same wheel. That's all I need to know.
