In this paper we determine the motivic class---in particular, the weight polynomial and conjecturally the Poincare polynomial---of the open de Rham space, defined and studied by Boalch, of certain moduli of irregular meromorphic connections on the trivial bundle on $mathbb{P}^1$. The computation is by motivic Fourier transform. We show that the result satisfies the purity conjecture, that is, it agrees with the pure part of the conjectured mixed Hodge polynomial of the corresponding wild character variety. We also identify the open de Rham spaces with quiver varieties with multiplicities of Yamakawa and Geiss--Leclerc--Schroer. We finish with constructing natural complete hyperkahler metrics on them, which in the $4$-dimensional cases are expected to be of type ALF.
