I will have to say that the quality of Maya wheels are superior in design and quality to HREs, I-Forged, BBS, OZ's etc. Just take a look at a set in person to compare. We put custom wheels on our cars all the time and we see the differences. Lowenharts are very good as well. Other than quality style is another preference that has to be compared. Not everyone will like the style from Maya. Modulare's and Zone makes very nice quality wheels for custom forged wheels.

I-Forged and HRE , just so you guys know, have their barrels made from the same source...
they are a beautiful LOOKING wheel, but are not intended for the race track...
when i get my GT2, i will either be going to BBS magnesiums, or OZ S.L.3's , or MAYBE a set of fikse wheels


im not saying i wasn't happy with my wheels, its just that i couldn't take the vibration during the rain (yes i know, its because of a rolled lip design), and also, i don't think the fit and finish on custom wheels is as good as the wheels offered by BBS, OZ, etc

ive had my i-forged wheels for 2 years now
they got bent a couple times, the clear coat started coming off on one of them, and the wehels themselves were never EVER 100% balanced... there would always be a little vibration at a certain speed...

ive also had my BBS wheels for 2 years, they only got betn a little (but still held air), they never lost their clearcoat, and always drove true and straight

the one good thing about the custom wheels is the insane lip and offsets though
