After years of threats, it's finally happened.
I'M OFF METRICS!!!
Now, for these you have to blame "UKDaveJ", as he'd picked up this set over a year ago, having had enough of me moaning about crap Avon metric ride quality. They are 7"x15" "Style 31s" from the E39 Five, seated on plastic hubcentric converter rings and then mounted on the E24's hubs.
With winter approaching, they'll be a sight easier to keep clean
The ride quality (tested yesterday and today on local roads and the M1 between Jcn.2 & 5) is light years better than the TRXs I've removed. There isn't even any vibration
With a standard offset of 20mm, they've still got sufficient "dish" to not look out of place on an E24. The design of the wheels is very very reminiscent of some of the old Fiats and Lancias of the '50s and '60s
I really should have done this a LOT earlier. All I need to find now is a spare fifth "Style 31" and we'll be done for the winter.
