I'd say 6.5 <_<

[Gilly]

6.5

the second pic is correct for measuring width

[stinger_007]

when talking rim 'width' its usually talking about where the tyre site on the bead...isn't it?

[Gilly]

yeah bead to bead

common mistake to measure lip face to lip face. pretty common to have an inch difference between the two ways of measuring.
