The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 16" Wheel-Markings Info Wanted

Stu.....I too have never seen authoritative reference to Ford-produced wheels, although I ASS-U-MED as much all of these years, along with the interspersing of outside suppliers like Budd and K-H in the earlier days. Your question about this is well-taken.

I'm curious as to what the "K" represents on your page above in the left hand column under RIM SIZE, such as 4 1/2-K, 5-K, 5 1/2-K, and 6-K? Thanks for taking the time! DD

Stu.......In re-reading your original info, does the "K" reference the drop center profile in number of degrees?
