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.
