Its normally stamped wheel somewhere or in raised numbers with the letters ET beside it scassidy.

Theres a pic of what it should look like on page 2

If you can't find it on wheel, get a ruler and measure the gap from the edge of one of the bolt holes diagonally to the same edge of the opposite bolt hole. Will get a measurement of 98, 100, 108, 110 or 114 depending on what wheels they are

That would show the Pcd mate and not the offset.

Yeah you're right, long day at work, offset will always be stated on wheel as mentioned above

Edit: go to page 2 and its to the right of the text that says "A real example" in bold letters.
