Wheel Gods,

I have my wheels off for a little maintenance on my fronts, so with the opportunity, I've cleaned up the rear 19s today, and took these pics.

What do the not so obvious markings communicate?

TIA

ok..Dex,

let me solve the "puzzle" for you...

1. well, MADE IN JAPAN..you know, the good quality control land...


2. VIA-Vehicle Inspection Association, 695 kilogram, ~1500lb. this has to do with max load i think..not quite sure.

***VIA should also have JWL mark too(japan light alloy association)

these 2 marks means that you are getting quality wheels..German/european wheels also have them..some are passed by TUV...

3. 19"(diameter)x9.5" width..offset +44

4. Hart wheels(Lowenhart wheels...the parent co is Takechi Project)..i think your wheels is made by WORK, like many lowenharts and l-sportlines

5. A356 EK..not sure about this one

6. 5:114.3, 5 holes, 114.3 is the PCD, distance between each holes i think...bmw has 120(not sure on this one)....and benz has 112
