    JW/amil wheels? mystery company...

    does anybody know anything about this wheel company? im sure they are defunct at this point, but i was told they made wheels for bmws for a while. i'm not sure if this means they made FACTORY bmw wheels, but upon close inspection of a 14" (or any non-bbs) basketweave it appears that there is an insignia that says "JW." also, there is an "alu" (probably simply meaning aluminum) insignia. any ideas about this?

    well, i have the option to trade my weaves for a set of 15x7 (et25) wheels that i was told were made by JW. on the lip of the wheel it says "amil." these wheels are currently on a 2002 that is owned by a kid i met today. they are all white, but otherwise they look just like these, on the GTI on the right...




    they'd look pretty sick on an e30 i think, kinda like 10 spoke hartges. obviously i would not keep them white, but im not sure what color i'd like on my silver car. they have a nice lip on them, and also they have es100s mounted, which is what i have on my weaves right now. what do you think?

    That "JW" actually looks more like "Jil" to most people. It's just the symbol for the Japanese version of TUG, a basic certification of quality stamped on all wheels that passed their tests.

    No idea on the "Alu", but it could be as simple as you mentioned.

      Alu is also stamped onto most E30 basketweaves, isn't it the company that made them as well as BBS? I know mine say that...
