    Common marking on OEM and aftermarket wheels?

    Anyone know what this mark means? It seems like all Toyota alloy wheels have the marking, but some aftermarket wheels, and domestic cars have the same mark. What does it mean?

    I was reading through the MoTeC catalog and found this, I know that improper AF ratios, burning oil, excess heat, among other things can cause a shorter life, but i have never heard that they should be considered a wear item.
