Default Mystery wheel
Can some of you knowledgeable people help me identify this wheel.The indie shop I bought it from said it was short run custom Harley wheel from the foggy past.It has some sort of symbol perhaps Japanese? I looked around the internet for the wheel but no info.It's gonna look good on the front of the Heritage Softail.Thanks from Gord on the wet coast.

Since it has non-sealed bearings it's definitely from before mod. yr. 2000.

I can't help with the pedigree of the wheel, but I have seen JWL on good quality aluminum car and motorcycle wheels.

JWL: Japan Light Wheel Alloy:

"a compilation of standards defined by the Japanese Government to ensure the vehicle's safety for aluminum road wheels".

Here is a link: http://cartype.com/pages/2101/jwl_stamp_on_alloy_wheels
