mr who

can anyone shed some light on this company?

http://www.mayawheels.com/wheels.asp

they have clones of some killer designs... and seem to be using dazz as an importer.

:eek:

DAZZ is selling hart wheels and maya?...mayas are copies of some hart and traffic star(riverside) wheels

mr who

i just got off the phone with them and altho i dont completely understand the situation, here it is. it seems trafficstar/riverside was having various problems (they didnt go intop detail) importing these designs to the US. so maya was created... apparently these wheels are still being produced by riverside in japan, but brought over into the US rebadged as maya (kinda like toyota/lexus).

personally i wouldnt have a problem running these wheels on my car, as they arent technically knock offs. i actually view this company as a good thing... theyre making quality japanese multi piece wheels more easily accessible.

i see..but the TTS is so similar to the new lownehart(forgot which model)

mr who

just a theory...
lowenhart might be letting them use this design to give them some sort of credibility. also, the wheel youre talking about only seems to be offered in 24" by lowenhart. maya offers 18 and 19" fitments.

sound good to me...i would get a different ctr caps though..the original riverside caps are much much better

mr who

yeah, maya sounds a little fruity. or in the same crowd as the bling bling type wheels...i just wouldnt let anyone get that close to my wheels

Wheel Experts

the MAYA wheels are indeed rebadged trafficstars, and the 6 spoke is a Euro Hart TT6. They will make their official US debut at SEMA, with the DTM and DTS coming in up to 20" sizes.

DAZZ is THE US importer for Lowenhart/racing hart.

peter..at first i thought the mayas are copie, so i meant why are dazz selling both at the same time...weird to me

Manaray

Yeah...like Peter said, just relabeled...

I really like the STM actually...but I would want the original Riverside/Trafficstar centercaps though...

The Trafficstars are priced pretty low too...well at least in Japan...I don't know what kind of crazy market Dazz is going to put on 'em...

I was thinking the same thing...

here's an example of DAZZ retail pricing:

DTS/DTM

19x8.5 - silver 720 chrome 820
19x10 - silver 750 chrome 850

I fell in love with STM's the first time I saw them. Internet retailers are selling them very reasonably (considering they are light-weight 3-piece quality wheels). I was quoted $2150+$150 shipping for 4 Maya STM 18x9's.
