I requested this info today actually on another forum...


The difference is as below in the pics, the 16i wheels have one spoke markings, the s1 has cast markings on more than one spoke.

These pics are from multiple concourse winning cars so you can be assured they are correct.

You will also see the 16i has RS centres where the S1 wheels are plain!
