Madio is DAZZ. DAZZ used to sell imported, relabed wheels under their name but the decided to change names...Madio was the name of one of their wheels, now it's the new CI (Corporate Identity)...most of their wheels are from Hart Wheels...

Is Hart wheels the manufacturer of Bersaglio and Lowenhart wheels as well???
Also, do some wheel companies just leave it to the manufacturers web-site to be the sole means by which their wheel can be viewed?? For example, Zauber is represented on the Arrow jp site(the manufacturer), but other than that, they are only pictured on distributors sites. They dont have their own site...

Yes Tiny, Bersaglio and Lowenhart are both Hart manufactured wheels...

As for manufactures vs. wheels companies...most of the time, the manufacture IS the wheel company. They just sell under different brand names for market differentiation...JDM wheels, Race wheels, K-car wheels, etc., etc...

Kinda like Toyota/Lexus...
