What kind of rims are these? The only thing I can find to even give me a clue is a little symbol in the corner of the rims that say MC just like on the stock rims from my '99 Spyder.

I am looking to sell them and don't know what brand to list them as so I need a little help. I am looking into buying a new set of rims that are not all blacked out. Still black but with a chrome lip:thumb:

The little MC, which actually looks more like the symbol for Virgo, is found on most of the OEM alloy wheels I have seen... And I have never figured out what it means.

I had a set of ROH ZR6 wheels on an old Mustang that had the same symbol, those wheels came from Austraila. I always thought it was JC? Probably only a few wheel manufacturers out there.
 
(1) The JWL mark
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport established the performance criteria of light alloy wheels. There are standards "Technical standards for Light Alloy Disc Wheels for Passenger Cars" and "Technical standards for Light Alloy Disc Wheels for Trucks and Buses," and products that have passed these standards should have JWL (for passenger cars) and NWL-T (for tracks and buses) engraved on them. They are voluntarily certified.

Incidentally JWL comes from "Japan Light Alloy Wheel".

(2) VIA mark
As a light alloy wheel is very important in car safety and its quality can affect human lives, any organization that manufactures and sells light alloy wheels or testing organizations that check aftermarket wheels need to be in accordance with the technical standards approved by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and have registered them. This is known as VIA registration. Registration is performed by the Japan Light Alloy Automotive Wheel Testing Council (hereafter referred to as "the Council") and testing and registration are performed by the Japan Vehicle Inspection Association (hereafter referred to as Vehicle Inspection). VIA is a registered trademark of the Japan Vehicle Inspection Association. The JWL mark and VIA mark are applied in Japan. The council is made up of the Nippon Auto Parts Aftermarket Committee (NAPAC) JAWA Division and the Japan Aluminum Association (JAA) along with the Japan Vehicle Inspection Association.

Can you take a picture of what mark you're talking about?
