mjn Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Never heard of them, but i do concave As long as they're stamped with the usual standards, don't see a problem. Might want to check the weights though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza9t9 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Yeah weight was something I wanted to consider. Do you know the weight of the standard wheels (average, say MV1's) and what should be stamped on the wheels? I'm less than numpty when it comes to wheels. the concave wheels were the ones that caught my eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjn Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 TUV and JWL are the main ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza9t9 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Cheers I'll hopefully go check these wheels out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2clubsp Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I think you'll find that TUV and JWL are type approval stamps not brands of wheels. Those wheels in your eBay link will just be another Chinese wheels, heavy and cheap. Plenty of them on the road, so not all bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazza9t9 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Yes that's what I wanted to know, the brand is Aluwerks i am going to get a little more information on the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza9t9 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 It looks like Aluwerks is part of aez, dotz wheels all from a Germany company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concave ones look brilliant, however they are extremely wide. As for weight. He did not know the wheel weight, they didn't feel hugely heavy, but they will be heavier than some. They are made to take heavy vehicles. He said they are rates higher for weight (concave) they were all stamped up TUV etc and looked decent quality. Albeit not the best. I was not as much of a van of the "Grid" they were a flat grey colour and not staggered he did have a few different ones in and it sounded like he will be getting more over time. It was only a smal place and not been open long at all. i am going to consider the concave ones, I currently have mv1 with 265 tyres and 20mm spacers which don't rub but I am not convinced the j9 concave will not rub. for me they seemed like a decent wheel for second hand money! I will be looking at them, even though I had my heart set on rotas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovin_it Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Cheers for the info i was under the impression that 9j et40 with 255 would not rub. More research needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More research needed. I am no wheel expert buddy I would not know if they would rub. The chap in the shop thought they may do. they were good looking wheels so I am hoping to get a set in the future. I am good to nip back at some point and weigh them. I am interested to see what they actually weigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovin_it Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Well let us know if you do weigh them. Are you planning to put them on a salon or a coupe mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More research needed. I run 18" 9J ET40 rear wheels with 255/35 tyres on my E46 coupe, lowered on coilovers. No rubbing issues at all, although they'll definitely rub if I add any spacers. I tried adding 15mm spacers to a set of 18" 8J ET35 wheels on the rear with 225/40 tyres and that was gonna rub.

Youngie Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Hi they are imported by a company at Teesside autoworxs I have a set and they lasted 8 months on the road before corroding looks like he might have them made for him because I cant find any one else selling them the are stamped JWl and Via but I think they are fake markings because for them to hold a VIA registration they should be stamped on the out side of the wheel not the inside so this leaves a few questions as to weather or not the are registered and save to use or not ? i'd stay clear if i was you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
