Confirmed this today with my MAYA / MAIDO contact, the only models still availible are the DTM, ST5, and GR5. One of the best looking mesh wheels (the STM) is not availible for Lexus fitment anymore. (I think I may be able to ease this pain with a upcoming iFORGED offering!!)
There may be some hope for SC430 owners, as their offsets are similar to the Infiniti G35C, and M/B SL (who knows about PCD)
Just thought I would share this news, I swear between this and the L-SPORTLINE demise, life is bad for Lexus Lovers.
Pics of all wheels still availible are featured here : D2-AUTOSPORT.com

From a wheel manufacture point of view, they made an excellent business decision when Maya decided to raise the price in 11/04.

Well, to be honest, US market and Japan market is so different. That's why there are a lot of conflicts when a new proposal is submitted to the meeting. It's not simply import & export

I saw a black 04 L430 with those wheels on Sunday but I couldn't tell the brand from far away (maybe Maya, maybe IForged). They look neat and hot, I like them

i think maya/maido isn't that great of a company because they take top japanese wheel manufacturers (work, bersaglio-lowenhart, trafficstar, dronell, alstadt, etc.) wheel designs and label them as their own designs thinking people don't know what the real stuff is...maybe dazz payed for the rights for the designs, but i still don't see them as a quality brand...when you guys talk about maya stm im thinking bersaglio mesh II's...Shyne
