That's where pics would help.

It doesn't sound like a whack, when I hit the kerb with mine it was the other way around bottom was in and top was out.
Unless the inside of the wheel has hit a rock or similar I suppose? That would be unusual!
Still needs to be checked out on four wheel alignment rig.
If its visibly out then something is definitely bent.
A less likely scenario would be loose wheel nuts. Isn't this waht Alonso's wheel looked like beofre it came off at the weekend? You could check wheel nut tightness as a precaution tho'.

His location is down as 'West Midlands' so Center Gravity would be a lot closer.

No red port left



As you have spotted something amiss with your car I would not drive it, unless you are taking it to somewhere local to get it looked at. The S has a reputation (for one reason or another) for being tricky in concern road/weather conditions.

You'd be so gutted if you crashed it on your way to work, after you'd spotted this problem. Also think about other motorists and their safety. I'd never knowingly drive an unsafe car. I'm not saying your car is unsafe, but there's no harm airing on the side of caution.

And some may be surprised that it was me who suggested them.
