Rims! I can't decide

Trafficstar DTM

MAYA DTM

Trafficstar DTS

MAYA DTS


18X7.5 or 18X8... Prolly gonna wrap them in S03's or Proxies TS-1's.. 225/40/18.. I want the silver with chrome lip.

Now I know they are the same style and I know Trafficstar came out with them first.. But I am torn.. I am trying to find out price differences and offsets... Just looking for some insight on my future purchase.

Smitty

p.s. I can't tell but do the Trafficstars look like they got GOLD rivets?..

You’ve got great taste in RIMS Smitty. Those are ALL nice.

MY choice would be the MAYA DTS with the Trafficstar DTS in a close second.

Both the Trafficstars and Maya wheels are made by the same wheel manufacturer, Riverside in Japan and are identical in quality and spec's.

I believe the Trafficstars are slightly lower in price vs. the Maya - but harder to order.

You can't go wrong with either one, IMHO - I'd go with the chrome Trafficstar DTM in silver.
