They also give designations of their rims such as: 5-1/2J x 15 H 2 If we interpret "rim flange" to mean the outer edge of the rim that stands up at right angles to the rest of the rim (the part the bead pushes out against) then this all seems pretty consistent. I think I have to take the blame for much of this confusion, because I've been telling people for years that the "j" referred to the humps. I think it is clear now that I was wrong. I apologize for the error. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
