To pick on one brand, Ukai would stamp rims with very specific tire-sounding sizes: https://velobase.com/ListComponents....6-886f460f73e2

Of course, that was for rims from the 70's/80's, seems like they're generally hip to ISO/ETRTO these days.
Now that you wrote it like that I guess I have seen that quite often on some rims and just never thought about it. I tend to just ignore any sizes I see that aren't ISO/ETRTO sizes.
