Put wire wheels on the 63 Mercury


Recommended Posts

I decided to try my 17" 100 spoke knock off wire wheels on my 63 Mercury Meteor Wagon. I was concerned that they would rub in the rear wells. I took it to work to test fit them, after that I kinda jumped the gun and just finished installing them. They ride amazing, car just floats down the road now. I also decided to give it a bath, since it hasn't had one in over 12 years, (been in a barn 12 years before I got it).

 

Don't be shy, tell me your thoughts on how they look. You won't hurt my feelings.

BTW, is that the factory rocker trim? Lose it. :)

 

 

Yea thats the factory trim, I think it will fall off on its own eventually. The wagon has seen better days, it would need alot of work before I could bag it.

I hate wire wheels.

Working at the only shop in town that will touch them really makes you grow to hate them.

But personally, not fond of the looks.

 

BUT, I think your wagon looks sick.

The wheels complete the package.

Bags and/or lake pipes would take this thing off the deep end.
