The "rune" could be 5 studs?

Yea, I think those markings are to do with the studs, the 19 might be the amount of millimetres the bolt thread needs to pass through before it screws into the hub/disc (bore length)?

There are quite a few markings on wheels, from Max weight load through bead profile, type of hump etc as well as the usual physical measurements and safety accreditation.
I’ve seen wheels with the actual alloy used in code too.

Got the 18" Borbet Y's fitted with some Crosslimates yesterday, also popped on 12mm spacers at the front and 15mm at the rear. Very happy with the new look!   :smiley:

They do look great, but all the photos i've seen of them online, they look like they have a convex profile that dishes outwards near the hub. Is that the case?

Only seems to work with the silver option but a 360 deg vid can be seen here

Thanks for posting that, quite helpful. I managed to get the video to work with the candy red, and it does seem to suggest the spokes do have a slight dome effect before they go back in towards the hub  :sad:

Barbet Y alloys will be bought by owners of many different makes / models of car with different sized brake calipers. It might be the spokes have a slight convex shape to ensure adequate brake caliper clearance without having to resort to fitting spacers. I’ve seen other aftermarket alloys with similar slightly convex shaped spokes too.
