Default Maya Wheels

Does anyone know what happened to Maya wheels?
Their website is gone and they aren't listed on some of the dealer websites. I really liked the brand, especially the cast centers with forged barrels. Some of their designs were really nice. On the blingy side but still classy. The best wheel I ever had was the Maya GR5.

I know Traffic Star, Lowenhart and Work are made by the same people that put out Maya but they don't offer similar designs.

Anyone know the scoop?

Trafficstar and Maya are basically the same wheel

I think the main reason as to why they're no longer available is because Dazz Motorsports when out of business awhile back. They were the ones who imported, branded and distributed Maya wheels.

I loved their designs. They were way to pricey anyway. RIP DAZZ and MAYA

I could buy that except Dazz also was the exclusive distributor for Lowenhart and that brand is still around.

That's because Advanti became the exlcusive distributor for Lowenhart after the whole Dazz thing.

I didn't know that that. Thanks.

I wonder why they didn't keep Maya?
