There's the VIA stamping. And I do believe that actually is a JWL stamp on the other side of these CST's. Sweet. Confirmation of the high quality. Hopefully MB's have it too.

Game over man. Game fucking over.

Same VIA casting which supersedes JWL.

simmode1 · 04-30-2015, 08:24 AM

Sure, man. I just wanted to understand the hype you guys have for these wheels, because they're on my short list as well. I just didn't get why you guys overwhelmingly LOOOOOOVE these wheels in comparison to other cheapass competitors. Now I know. The VIA & JWL certs say it all. Didn't even realize a china wheel could get a JWL cert.

I never hated these wheels, guys. Who could? They're so fucking cheap! But I might respect them more now.

What did you think the cert tested? Pound-force per square country of origin?

The JWL standard (Japan Light Alloy Wheel standard) is a set of requirements for alloy wheels set by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (Japan) that must be met for all passenger cars in Japan. The JWL mark, cast or forged into the wheel, indicates that the wheel has been self-certified by its manufacturer to meet the standard. There is a related standard, JWL-T, for truck and bus wheels.

The Vehicle Inspection Association of Japan (VIA) independently tests wheels for JWL or JWL-T compliance. Wheels that have been tested will bear the VIA mark in addition to the JWL mark.[1]

I always had a soft side for polished battles

Drama · 05-06-2015, 01:29 PM

Jumping in late to the topic. From my understanding, MB bought CST's molds for Hyper Zeros. Same thing with the A-Tech wheels. Just bought them and reused them.

Corbic · 05-07-2015, 09:53 AM

Ordered some new Battles, the satin silver ones.

Do they need to be stripped for powder coat or can they go as is?

Corbic · 05-07-2015, 12:53 PM

So +23 or +15 for the rear?

unwtdhero · 05-07-2015, 01:55 PM
