Default what wheels have a i got?

yes i know that they are round gold 5 pokes but what type are they? i think they're genuine subaru but not 100%. i've never seen another scooby with them on though. My car is a classic import '94.

there is a symbol on them (see below) but not sure what it stands for.

any help would be great. i'm thinking about buying some new wheels so any info on what type my current ones are would be great for when i get round to selling them.

cheers matt.

Hi
The JWL symbol is a proof that the wheels meet the Japan Light Alloy Wheels standard - this is a self certification process that all alloys fitted to Japanese cars (in Japan!) need to meet.
Unfortunatley it does not tell you who made them!!
Cheers
Steve

cheers Steve. at least i know that they are more likely to be the wheels the car came over with rather than the importer over here sticking them on.

They look like the standard out-the-box gold wheels on Sti Imports at that time. Someone needs to be shot for those balancing weights though!

yup they sure do. it's the only thing that will have made a mark on all 4 wheels. other than that they are mint.

if they're sti that might explain the pink sti badge on the grill as my car is only a wrx.
