Wheel identification
This should probably go under Non-Technical but we'll see what the mods think.
Looking to get some information on a set of wheels that I snagged off a parts car many moons back. I don't recall the year of the car they came off of or anything else about them, I've searched through a couple of wheel pic threads and come up with nothing. Looked all over the wheels and can't find a recognizable makers mark on them so hopefully someone around here has or has seen these particular wheels and can fill me in. Wanna get them restored and put on my 85 GSL to replace the 92's currently on her.
The wheels:
This is the only mark I've found on any of the four aside from the 'M' or 'MC' that's on the centers.
Thanks in advance for any information.

My understanding was that the "JW" was not a manufacture marking but rather a marking that the Japanese version of DOT says its okay for that wheel to roll on Japanese pavement. I may be wrong though.

I had a set of Rockwell wheels that were very similiar to these. However, they were a Ford 4X108 pattern without conical seats that had been slotted to 4X110.
The prior info concerning JWL is correct, Japanese equvilent to our DOT certification. There is usally a JJ designation of the back of the wheel somewhere that indicates width and diameter. For example, 5.5JJ13, which is what the stock + wheels are.

I haven't had much time recently to do any searching but what little I have had I'm fairly confident they are Souther Way wheels.
It's just a matter of finding my exact wheel now I believe.
Trochoid, I'll research Rockwell wheels when I get a chance as well. Thanks for the tip. I'll have another look at 'em as soon as I can and get you the JJ info.
Thanks everyone for your help.

The really look close to the Advan Compomotives, but just not exactly it. I haven't been able to find the wheels in the thread yet, but that is the closest wheel I've come across so far.
