It's obvious enough that you can imagine that you could pick up the wheel with your fingertips in there without the wheel slipping off your hand. I don't think you can do this with the early rims. OTOH, it's possible that the "j" does not signify the different rim profile. I think I picked that info up from a Mercedes manual and I don't think that any of my VW stuff actually says that. So it's possible that both early and late rims were marked as "j" rims. I think I have an early rim or 2 that I could check this weekend. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
