Usually stamped on the inside of the wheel take it off and have a look on the inside around the bolt pattern

Apparently you have to measure inside the alloy from the center hub to the edge of the rim.
If it is like 40 mm/4cm = et40.

Dont hold this to me tho. this is what i heard.

no you guys have got it wrong

it's the distance between the hub face and the centre line of the wheel.!

so the distance from mounting face to the outer width of the rim, less half of it's total width.
