That magic moment when you found out that no, your rims on your 80's Mustang are not 15 in. they are in fact 15.35 in. or 390mm.

I had a Citroën CX with TRX wheels..

210/55 VR 390 if I'm not mistaken.

I'm not, but probably most people chucked them and replaced then with real wheels/tires.

Fun fact: they still make them, but they're like $600 *each* from Coker Tire

The most awesome Ferrari ever made, the Mondial, originally had TRX's, but the good news is that you can get these 16-inch wheels from the UK, so that you can use regular tires.

Well, yeah that is what I and my friends did. But how it actually happened it you got a flat or something and you went to the dealer and were told that the tire you thought was going to cost $80 in 1988 dollars will actually cost $150 and they don't have it in stock.

America experimenting with metric wheel sizes? Weird. Do they sell metric wheels in Europe? Anyone? Anyone?

Although, this doesn't sound nearly as bad as the Honda Odyssey PAX wheels?
