If not familiar with BMW nomenclature...wheel offset is listed with an "ET" prefix in front of a numerical value. For example: " ET:19 means that the wheel has a 19mm wheel offset.
Here's a direct link to the f13 M6 wheel diagrams. Again, just click on all of the 20 inch wheels and you'll see what the front and rear wheel offsets are for that particular wheel: https://bimmercat.com/bmw/en/search/.../BMW+M6/USA/36
Example for Wheel Style 343:
BMW LA wheel, M double spoke 343 - 20''
front wheel: 9.5"X20" ET:31 (31mm offset)
rear wheel: 10.5"X20" ET:19 (19mm offset)

I'm trying to buy a single front wheel in a private sale. I'm able to inspect the wheel in person. How do I easily tell whether it's a front wheel or rear wheel, or that is even for the M6 and not the M5?
Inside the wheel I cannot see any part numbers.
Is the width or offset stamped somewhere?
