Help identifying rims

I recently picked up a set of used rims. I cannot for the life of me figure out what brand they are.



The only markings on the back are:

Z147 18x8.5 JJ ET38

These symbols


JWL (Japanese Light Alloy Wheel)

VIA 690KG (Vehicle Inspection Association)

05+++++
06+++++

Any ideas?

After searching every Craigslist from east coast to west, I found 1 set of these rims. No brand information though. I have asked the seller if they could identify the brand. I will post here when I receive a reply.
