Default et for ears motorsport escos 17x8 alloys

hi chaps

anyone know what the et is on these wheels ,cant seem to find it on the wheel ,they are identical to rl7,s

i have measured it

225/2=112.5 - 138[from back face of wheel to wheel mounting face ]

=25.5

does that sound right .

Iv got a set of these too that are virtually new but the offset is very badly stamped on the rim so it's hard to make out! On my sapphire looking at them I'd say et28-30.

yes lee the stamp is virtually invisible ,i put one on the saff last night and they are out past the arches a bit ,so going by the measurements i would say they are escos .the guy i got them off said they were fitted to a escort maxis rally car like gwyndaff evans used to drive
