Alpine D500 alloys

Postby Ben g » Tue Jan 18, 2011 6:40 pm

I recently bought myself a set of the D500 alloys...

and i thought they were 14"

it seems to me now, after some more researcg that these could infact be a metric 365 size? is this correct or am i ok with my 14"tyres?

help would be very appreciated.

thanks,

ben

Nuts, bolts & just about everything else is metric. Michelin wanted to lead the way ahead of all the other tyre manufacturers that would undoubtedly follow. They convinced a few car manufacturers to join them with their performance models (Renault and BMW being the biggest 2). It's only really the american market that stopped it happening as the yanks can't get their head around this new fangle metric measuring system.

Tyres are about the only 'imperial' measurement on any car made outside the usa now.
