In 2013 Brompton changed from a single wall rim made by Alex wheels to a double walled rim.
The single walled rim used the same rim for both front and rear wheels.
The double wall rim comes in two styles - with straight drilled and angled holes. All front wheels use the straight drilled rims, but the rear wheel rim depends upon the hub.
Please double check the hub / wheel combination by looking at the data sheet downloadable on the product pages.
The Brompton spokes come in different lengths depending upon the wheel and rim combination. There is a data sheet on each spoke page showing a matrix of what goes with what.
Spokes for Brompton bikes come in 3 profiles:
The spoke (not poke as spell check suggested) gauge 13g / 14g refers to the thickness of the spoke - not the weight
We sell spokes as a standard set of 28 (for the Brompton rim/wheel) and also as singles - should you just wish to replace the odd one / carry one as a spare - for example when travelling on holiday
As Brompton folding bikes have been getting more popular - the tyre choice has been expanding. The Brompton 16 inch wheel / rim size has an ETRTO (European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation) size of 349 and is compatible with the following tyres:

This has traditionally been the valve used on Brompton folding bikes - it fits through an 8mm diameter hole in the rim
This has been used as standard on the T Line and on some P Line Brompton's - it fits through a 6mm hole in the rim
The following tyres are also compatible with your Brompton, though not supplied by Brompton as a factory fit or after market option but by third parties:
