offset can be "guesstamated" (i think its a word) by measuring the amount of space from the surface where the lugs sit to the outside of the rims.
Its not the most accurate way but it give people an idea of the dish the rims have.

err yeah well not really cos offset is a pretty precise game,
its easy to measure it,
you need 2 measurements :
offset = wheel backspace - wheel centreline
so 1) wheel backspace
2) wheel centreline
take off a wheel
put a straight edge across the tyre and measure from the back of the mounting pad to the ruler.
then subtact the amount from the tyre to the rim to get the distance from the rim to the mounting pad, this is the backspace.
then you need to work out the centreline, rim width from edge to edge. centreline = ( rim width edge to edge ) divide by 2
offset = wheel backspace - wheel centreline
if it is negative = negative offset
if it is positive = positive offset
see http://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html#wheeltrm
for loads of info on wheel pcd offset backspace etc
