For my 1987 16V, and the wheels are DRWs, an obscure wheel, I have no idea
if what the model is, and have never seen them when I've searched for them.
They're the usual ones I have on the headache, I've never had rings for
them, and with the studs they lined up pretty well, but I don't have studs
in the front hubs anymore, and they don't line up easily, and I should have
them on there anyhow.
