I believe those are the Maya wheels version of one of the last 2 new Lowenhart rims(LD6-I think). Real 3 piece, real cheap. 18 inch staggered chrome w/pirellis will run you like 3200.

The car looks really low. It gives me the impression that the tires would rub against the body if you go over a nasty bump or if your wheels are turned to the extreme.

I noticed that some of these Maya rims look exactly like rims made by a Japanese company called Riverside... they even have the same exact names.

http://www.river-side.co.jp/products.htm

Trafficstar DTS = Maya DTS
Trafficstar DTM = Maya DTM

Even though it's not pictured, I know Trafficstar also has an equivalent STM. I guess Maya just resells these rims here in the U.S...

In turn all these rims(Lowenhart, Racing Hart, Hartge, Maya etc. etc.and now Carlsson-from what I read in another thread)are all distrubuted or shipped in the states by DAZZ motorsports. It is really funny too 'cuz there is a Maya rim that looks EXACTLY like a Carlsson type rim....But IMHO much nicer . Technically these are all not just "knock off's" like Diablo's, Giovannas, Tenzo etc. etc. They are all apparently from the same manufacturer.

The Trafficstar/Maya DTS look almost exactly like the Carlsson 2/5 but it's a pretty generic design... there's also a rim by Zauber (Arrow Enterprise) called the Crazer and a wheel by SSR called the AGLE Premium that both look almost exactly like the 2/5. I think all these are very high quality wheels, not cheap knock offs like Giovanna, Tenzo, etc.

The Maya TT actually looks just like the EuroHart TT-6
