Date of Manufacture on 6J x 16 Fuchs

I have a set of 6J x 16 Fuchs (Part# 911.362.113.00), which are the later 6J x 16s that were on the 1985-89 911 Carrera 3.2. Unlike the earlier Fuchs, such as the 6J x 15s and 7J x 15s, there is no distinct month/year of manufacture code, such as "10/70" for October 1970 or "4285" for the 42nd week in 1985. On the inside of each of my wheels, there is a raised box on one of the petals (spokes) that is stamped "161." Is that the date of manufacture? None of the other stampings make any sense for a wheel that should have been manufactured between 1985 and 1989. I have checked the numerous threads on 6J x 16 Fuchs and none explains how to de-code the date of manufacture on these later 6J x 16s. Can someone please help me out?

The original 6Jx16 from my 1986 911 have a raised box that says "274"
However, inside that same box, in smaller letters, says "4686"

Many thanks, Sugarwood, for your reply. There is no date code in the box on my 6J x 16s that says "161." However, one of the other petals (spokes) has a box with a faint stamping that looks like "2797." I will check tomorrow to see if it might actually say "2787." That would make sense.

Sugarwood, thanks again for the reply and accompanying pic. Both were very helpful. I appreciate your your time and effort.
