kws Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Looks like it has the JWL standard marking? usually means its a JDM-YO wheel. Probably doesnt help, but nothing else to go on with my minimal knowledge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.craw4d Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) JWL. Is that the little symbol I always thought was a funny M? Anyone clued up on wheels and tire fitting in general? @spiderwebfx? @MACKAZ? The tire guy thought by the looks of the wheel on the back indicated the tire should be removed from the back. Wasn't the case but he said they were a weird set up. Edited December 15, 2018 by a.craw4d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's doesn't have to be a Japanese wheel to have passed or have the Japanese standard cast into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 No part of them appear "backwards" to me. I could be wrong. Chances are the guy had trouble getting them off and then made excuses due to his ego. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.craw4d Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Don't have a pic of the back side but it has like a 2 inch parallel dish then steps up. Something to do with that. Had to take them to a second place to get the tires removed as the first guy said about the backwards wheel and his machine couldn't grip it. Second place had the same machine and did the job fine in front of me but they also said they thought is was a backwards wheel going by the profile on the back. I'll go get a pic soon once the kids are in bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Plenty of wheels have the tires fitted and removed from the inside. Mini factory steelies for example. Usually it will be on a wheel with a deep dish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Looking at that pic above, I would have guess the front face was to the right, so yeah they do kind of look like reverse mount rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.craw4d Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Here's the arse view. From this side both tire guys thought they were rear mount wheels. They however weren't rear mount and tires were removed from the front. This is all new territory for me as I just thought wheels were wheels and there was no front or back in regards to mounting a tire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderwebfx Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Tyres should be fitted from the front side of that rim. It's typical of a cheaper wheel to have the well so far from the face, but obviously it's deeper at that end to cater for it. (Not saying it is a cheap wheel, but the likes of Advanti do this on almost all their rims. JWL used to mean something, (it still does in most cases) but then Chinese copies happened, and now they seem to be on almost every wheel anyway. In terms of quality, I wouldn't say that rim is chinese. If you like at the back in the centre, it's formed around the stud holes. All chinese stuff I've seen has a round mounting face as it's cheaper and easier to do. I'd be looking at what @kyteler said and it's possibly from Performance Wheels Australia 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelies Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Anyone here removed/replaced a ring gear on a flexplate before? Mines got fucked teeth, I bought a replacement that's not quite right for the trans, wondering about heating/ flipping the original ring round to the 'fresh' side. Next option is repair shop, but too impatient to wait till next year etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
