Are they a 8.5j wheel, i bet they are a hard ride, heavy steering(no power steering) and probably need arch work if your lowered. At a guess !!!

Just out of interest whilst were on the subject of wheels. What ofset and PCD is Series 2 wheels. Years ago I had a pic of a red s2 with momo arrows on and it suited the car. 17's I think they were.
