Wheel rim numbers?

Post by BLT »

Hi. Does anyone know what these numbers mean(L9B, B1D, L9A) and if they matter? All the rims are the same 21A2744, 3.5B x 10 x 24 standard rims by Dunlop(1161), with 3 of the four codes around the centre the same(first 2 photos). Can these wheels all go on the same car? Many thanks for any info.

Hi. Yes, I've already looked there but it doesn't explain these codes. If nobody knows what they mean, can anyone confirm if their wheels have differing codes like this or are they all the same? Thanks

I have four 1161 wheels and I always assumed that was a date code. My car is a November 1961 deluxe.

Maybe the L9A and L9B etc are simply batch codes for identification purposes ?
