Yes, very old skool, there are some still floating around in the VW community. Look thru some old VW&Porsche mags and you will see these on a variety of VW's.

ive only ever seen one other set on vortex before.

anyone know anything about them? price? how many sets were made, ect?

[SchnellerVert]

Common stamped wheel.....most likely in the thousands. Not worth it other wise to make a mold and not try to sell them. I had early VW chassis's in the 80 when they were new. They were cool wheels at the time for cheap Money. About 135 each from tirerack.

Tirerack was sole importer for the MSW/OZ/Fitti/ and variety of wheels back then. I bought Aluett's and Weds, plus some Rials back then. MSW were known to split if you hit a decent sized pot hole.

Edit Google image search is great

[Mr.sexymorningvoice]

so i have some wheels i found and they have that very same logo stamped on the back..what does it mean/stand for?

[browntown]

i thought that jwl thing meant made in japan, maybe it's just japanese DOT then

[browntown]

here: Many may have noticed a marking on wheels with a visible logo “JWL”. Japanese wheels must have a "JWL" logo on the wheel and "JWL" (Japan Light Wheel Alloy) is a compilation of standards defined by the Japanese Government to ensure the vehicle's safety for aluminum road wheels. Every wheel put to market must be tested to meet JWL standards before a wheel can be put out to market in Japan. These standards are generally accepted worldwide as acceptable for most road conditions. That is why you will see these marks on European and other Asian country wheels.
