Mark_Solesbury:
Dont think its bent, as the tyres wear evenly, it does not pull at all, it brakes in a straight line.

Plus, if ive managed to bend it length ways, and make it an inch longer then im a very clever boy !

Saffy:

How can i check the offset of a wheel? Will it be written on it somewhere?

On the 8 spoke wheel... the center horizontal face is welded to the circular rim.  That face can be welded at different depths inside the rim to give different offsets. So measuring that  stud hole face in relation to its position/depth to the rim's outer face (or the rims centreline) will indicate its offset. Just compare all four wheels and make sure they are all same.

If you bought the rims secondhand its a dog trick to sell with one wheel with an odd offset, especially in set of 5 wheels where someone bought 4 wheel originally and then tried to find a close match 5th as a spare at later date.  You see it at Old Sodbury sortout sometimes.
