Default JLW marked turbo wheels. OEM?

Hi!

My 997.1 turbo wheels are marked with JLW (Japan Light Alloy Wheel) on the outside (between the spokes). Does this mean it's aftermarket turbo wheels or is it OEM?

The OEM Turbo wheels are made by Otto Fuchs in Germany, if it helps.

I don't see that mark on my forged turbo wheels.

OK! Probably Aftermarket wheels then. Finish is excellent but they should be heavier than forged wheels. At least they are JWL marked. Will look at the inside as well.
