A4 16-inch OEM wheel offset

[Kneale Brownson]

Wheel part number and offset usually are stamped into the metal 
somewhere.  I've got wheels with the number visible from the outside and 
I've got them with the number visible from the hubside.    I've even got 
some with the numbers visible from either side.  None of them has the 
number "hidden" on the inside of the rim so that you'd have to demount the 
tire in order to see it.
