A4 16-inch OEM wheel offset

[Erik Addy]

You probably got one A8 wheel.  Looks the same, but has an ET37 vs ET45
for the A4 wheel.

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.
