Wheels/Tyres: - Alloy Wheels Markings

V40K2 · Sep 9th, 2021, 15:47

Hi,

Owning Larenta Wheels 17''
31381859-SI
7.0Jx17H2
Germany Borbet
ET 50 K2

All markings are clear to me, except the K2 code after the offset 50 (I know ET is the German for Offset).

I have seen online identical wheels (same exact product code) but different K number (like K1, K2 or K3, even K4 for some other Volvo models).

I have no clue

if wheels with different K number are interchangeable (e.g. spare set for winter tyres) and what this K number means.

Few things that come to mind:

- Borbet has 4 different production sites in Germany (maybe just a code for the production site?), OR
- a code for idicating different nuts requirements?
- Any other idea?

Thanks!

Borbet's website has a 'Livechat' button, I find a lot of Germans speak good English, might be worth asking them direct.
