What does it mean? I just noticed it on a couple of Volk rims, My winter rims aren't stealies they are nicer rims, not spoked or webbed but in between....

I'm not sure exactly what it means, but it is on my stock rims too. We know they are Enkie wheels. call a wheel shop and ask, they might know.

do u have a better pic?

those markings does not mean they are volk rims. anything made my rays will have "rays" engraved on the wheel inside or out. or a sticker with rays logo and wheel info on it.

The "J..." sign means that the wheel was manufactured in Japan OR outside but certified to a Japanese wheel standard. See this month's Modified Magazine article about copycats/counterfeit "go fast" parts for the name of the organization.

BTW great article that should calm down a few power buyers of cheap Ebay parts (at least for safety-critical or critical engine/suspension parts). Sometimes knock-offs do not produce any power (next month they'll show dyno results of original VS copycat) or are just plain dangerous for road use. In brief: stick with well known names that put extensive design/testing in their parts and run away when offered new in-box parts at slashed prices.
