do i have authentic or replica zr1's??

ok well the other day i looked on my rims to try to find a GM, but what i found was a "JW" or "JM" or something in cursive, im not sure what it is exactly, so i thought i had replicas, but then i detail cars, and ive noticed that on imports rims (lexus', nissans etc) ive seen the same emblem, so i thought maybe they were authentic.. hoipefully some of u guysknow what im talking and can tell me what kind of rims i have?thanks guys

As far as I know, unless it says GM they are replicas. Doesn't matter anyways, they are all the same.

Not all factory SS rims have the GM logo stamped in them. Some have the logo you describe, and yes they are still originals.

Mine came directly off of a factory SS and they don't have GM stamped in them, they have the label you describe.

Some GM wheels have the Enkie (sp?) symbol stamped into them. If I'm not mistaken, that is the same symbol that you described. But yes they are factory wheels. I don't remember which vehicle it was, but I do remember talking about it with some of the guys I work with at the shop.
