OK, these pix were supposed to be on the other post !
.. you can see from these that if you measure the rim, then its easy to calculate ET

Thanks for the reply guys, wheel are BBS as it has BBS stamped on to them under the centre cap. I removed a wheel last night to look at the back but there was no ET number.. Under the centre cap is says 18x18 9j is22 I thought perhaps the Germans used IS instead of ET..
Thanks

ET and IS are equivalent.Originally Posted by lamb chops
You have 18" diameter by 9" wide rims with a 22mm positive offset.
Enjoy!

Ok thanks for the info Fusion
ET is an acronym for "Einpress Tieffe", which is German for 'push-in depth'
