Default maya wheels or xxr wheels

I'm in the market for some wheels. But on a budget due to the fact I'm going to get a 69 chevelle and doing some jdm touches to it.
I've found both wheel set ups for less than 900.
Maya wheels have some wear and tear and just need 1 tire.
The xxr 553 wheels are pretty much brand new.
Which is better quality of wheels? Here are actual pictures of the wheels

uh, u cant compare Maya ( TrafficStar) with sum cheapo xxr's...one is a cast wheel that wll probably crack if you roll over a peanut....The other is a welded 3 piece wheel. Its like comparing a used Ferrari with a brand new honda civic

not sure how u put xxr and quality in the same sentence

Go for the Maya's they look good and tires should be cheaper in the long run at 19" vs the 20" right? Also how do you JDM touch a 69 chevelle. Is that similar to a Pro Touring set up?

This is a more of a personal thing. I would go with the "real" name brand over a fake. But, also keep in mind that maya wheels tend to crack/bend easily. Shouldn't be a problem if your planning to sell the LS430 tho.

So it looks like maya wheels it is. Wasn't sure if they were a good brand since it seems like they went out of business. But if you guys say it's better than xxr I'm koo with it.

What's the offsets? They look decently aggressive. You sure they will fit with your current setup? Do you have something for adding negative camber?
