JWL, JWL-T, and VIA Certifications

Ensuring the quality of a product before acquiring it is important, and we understand this. That is why all models offered at RTX Wheels have JWL, JWL-T, and VIA certifications. Here is what they represent:

The JWL and JWL-T standards are sets of specific requirements for alloy wheels. Established by Japanese authorities, they are required for every vehicle in the country. These requirements are among the most rigorous in the industry. The letters JWL or JWL-T inscribed in the molding of a wheel certify that it has been tested by the manufacturer to meet these standards.

The VIA marking represents the Vehicle Inspection Association in Japan. This association conducts independent tests on alloy wheels to ensure their compliance with the JWL standard. A wheel tested accordingly will be marked with the letters VIA and JWL (or JWL-T for truck wheels).

This type of certification is also required for original manufacturer wheels. Therefore, you can be assured that the quality and durability of RTX Wheels products are equivalent to or even superior to those of your car's original wheels.

Safety and Reliability Tests

Once designed, our wheels undergo tests to ensure their compliance with our quality standards. Here are the tests used to determine if the tested wheel meets our standards:

Radial stress test (500,000 rotations)

Rotational bending fatigue test (100,000 rotations)

13-degree impact test (230 mm drop height)

Compliance with all load capacity criteria

Air leak tests on each wheel

X-ray test on each wheel

Sodium drop test

TCA Standard

The TCA standard is unique to Thibert Inc (our distributor) and stands for Tested-Certified-Approved. This standard certifies that the quality and safety tests related to this product meet or exceed the strict requirements set by the company. A wheel bearing the TCA logo assures you that our suppliers have paid particular attention to quality control, origin, and manufacturing of this wheel.

This standard ensures, among other things, that our suppliers comply with environmental protection standards, have obtained an audit of 90% or more following strict checks of quality standards and best practices, comply with ISO900 and ISO/TS16949 standards, and that their laboratories have obtained SFI, JWL, and TUV performance certifications.
