anyone know how to tell what the wheel offset is on copy BBS wheels. I cant find the usual ETxx where xx is the offset number ?.all i can find is E20BMW and then loads of meaningless numbers (presumably product codes / serial numbers). thanks

If youve got e20 on the copy, then its possible to be et20.

They probably are ET20 - are they TSWs? I had some of those, & they were 20...

will have to do some more investigation - got them for a song so dont care if they dont fit. they are 5 stud as my track car has M3 running gear. the current wheel are compomotive with an offset of 15. where is the offset measured from ?? if the ET15s fit will the ET20 / 24 definitley fit ?? i am confused !! :?
