Sorry, I deleted a lot of old pms so now you can send me one. I was going to try to make the meet this past Sunday but couldn't, so hopefully next time. I should be going to GRD before too long so I can let you know.

I really like those wheels but I see them WAY to much... Not on a G but on other cars so I want something new. If they hold up well thats what I am concerned with! The giovanna's had on my IS300 held up good for a cast wheel. But I am still undecided!!

yea i got the r16s as well. DPE baby, but if your willing to wait and i mean WAIT for the wheels go with dpe.

My friend has the mayas on his coupe as well. The lip is huge and is a very solid wheel as well.

So it depends if you wanna wait.

Yes, I'm very happy with it so far. No problems or idiot lights coming on so far, I'm crossing my fingers for long reliability.

I have Maya GR5 on my car and have the utmost respect for the brand. They aren't forged but they're made with the highest quality casting process available...from what I hear. I can definitely vouch for the quality...you can feel it and see it. The DPE's look like a quality wheel too so it comes down to your personality. Maya's are a little more show-off-ey. They stand out big time. I like that. If that's you, get the Maya's. If you're a little more reserved, get the DPE. Can't go wrong with either. I will say this, my Maya's took 3 months to get here from Japan. That may not happen to you but you never know.
