JWL, means that the wheels pass the Japanese Wheel standards. All Lexus OEM rims meet or exceed JWL requirements, and I wouldnt buy a set of rims that dont (assuming they are Japanese wheels)

a lot of wheels have jwl + via on them...what does the via or viv mean...japanese kick *** in wheel design and wheel technology...it's sickening how much physics they have applied to wheels alone...its a beautiful thing...Shyne
