That was it thanks. I had thought it had info on dating rims though. Anyone know where that migh be?

I know on some KP ones, it is on the face, near the lug bolt holes, in a circle usually. Others it is on the inside, where the tube seats. I have some 40s rims with it there.

Lemmerz rims have the date stamped into the face.
Kronprinz (KPZ) sometimes have the date only on the inside rim. Sometimes both the face and inside. They may or may not match. If they do not match, they are usually fairly close in months.

For the above, I am speaking in generalities and this may not apply to 16" wheels in particular.

KPZ wheel dated only on the inside (Bus 16" wheel):
