what does the J or JJ stand for in wheel sizing?

[continental_drift]

not a hard question, it's just one I don't have the answer to. so if someone knows, help an ignorant man see the light.

thanks,

The way the rim likp is shaped

most wheels are J

JJ wheels are harder to seat the bead.

Thats all I got.

he pretty much said it...Called a bead flange.

Flanges are made with different heights and curvatures to match the tire bead configuration. Flange type is designated by a classification system using one or two letters. The most commonly used flange heights are J= .68"(17.3mm), JJ=.69"(17.5mm), JK=.71"(18mm), K =.77(19.5mm), and L = .85"(21.6mm).
