Was doing a little "detail" work on my car/rims today and noticed a marking on the inner lip.

VIA 690KG

These rims were on the car when I bought it and was wondering if anyone knew/recognized the marking as a brand/style?

Thanks

p.s. Also :( noticed the front right is missing a lug. Must be from the brake work I had done last month. Bummer.

got pics of wheels? is it clearly marked *VIA* ?? the 690kg is most likely the max load rating. most wheels are stamped with the load rating somewhere on the wheel, some are harder to see than others.

I'll assume you immediately got out your torque wrench and checked the rest of your lug nuts at all four corners just to be safe.

Yes, It's clearly marked VIA just before the 690KG. They are 17's, not sure on the width, but they hold a 245.

Best pic I've got, will try to remember to bring home the USB mini-B cable To get a better one.

Thanks, checking the other lugs before I go anywhere.

nice pinstripe.

Les Schwab sheared off one of the lug bolts on my moms gf's truck with their air guns. Those sluts.

Well, tomorrow I'm off to see what they plan on doing about the missing lug. All the lugs are the "Gorrila" type with a special socket, so they'll need to either get the exact lug or replace them ALL.

Thanks on the stripe :). I've thought about removing it, but I wonder if the mark the 9 yr old stripe would leave behind would look any better??
