Re: [T3] Early "J" safety rims

Not very subtle. 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.
