Hitting-metal-sound while playing donut

My cousins and I played donuts on freezed parking lot last saturday. I was using the stock tires (S04) which have no grid at all. I could do a 270 at most, then wheels spined.
Anyway, I didn't realize that there was metal hitting sound when I was during donuts until I saw the movie we recorded ourself. Everytime I drifted, metal sounds came out. Anybody knows what is that??

Also I am wondering if the S04 stocks tires or not?? Are they all-season tires??

Thx.

could be that your upper control arm bushings are worn. At least that's what causes the metal sound on my car. Either way, it's probably some sort of bushing is what I'm thinking.

Could it be the downpipe hitting the body? I don't know if you have a downpipe but I have heard the happen in some cars.
