Default Rim size?

Probably a stupid question, but how do i work out what size rims i have?
I know they are 15" diameter, but need to know if they are 7 or 8" wide. Does it say it somewhere on the rim, or can people tell just by looking at them? Any help would be appreciated!

If it doesn't say stamped on the back, rim width is measured from the inside of the lip on each side (ie where the bead seats), so a 7" rim will actually be about 8" in total width.

Another question:

What's does on 15x10 rims mean if it is 5x5.5 or if it is 5 x 4.5 ?

that is the stud pattern

5 studs seperated by 55mm or 45mm. I think they do it in mm.

5 studs on a 5.5" Bolt centre diameter
5 studs on a 4.5" Bolt centre diameter
" means inch
