Default BHP at flywheel

If my car is standard with 260bhp or at least 260ps, is this at the flywheel or the wheels?

I cant see it been at the wheels but i am sure someone on here can help me.

What are the losses by the time it gets to the wheels?

If you have a true 256bhp (260ps) then by my (dodgy) calculations that works out at 200 bhp at the wheels (worked out from my cars 303@fly and 237@wheels reading.)
