Mullins Centreline were a Modular-style rim. It differed slightly from the Cheviot Armorlite:

Armorlite: flat disc including hub area
Centreline: hub area of disc slight recessed

The Dragway Pro was another common modular-style wheel, identified by five round holes in the disc.

Southern Ways

These are best identified by a cast S W on the back of the wheel. It can also be identified by the three "digits" in between the four lug holes. By contrast, SSR Mesh has a diamond between each lug hole.

  • Fingers between the lug holes (not diamonds)
  • The rim bolts are between the spokes (not at the spoke tips)

The wheels were made in Japan by Southern Ways. In the USA, Epsilon Wheel Corporation of Los Angeles (Mori Corporation) marketed the wheels.
