Suspect Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 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. Before I washed it... Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 THAT IS SWEET!!!!! What a find. Wheels don't look bad. Probably wouldn't have been my choice, but, they look good. Quote Link to comment

Str8_69 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 That is a great looking car, and the wheels look killer on it. My first ride was a red on red '63 Monterey S-55 2dr w/buckets and console. Seeing your Meteor makes me :D Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment

greengoon Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm not a big fan of wires but they look good on this car. Not too oversized either. Cool wagon. I agree - lose the rocker trim - it messes up the lines. :D Quote Link to comment

Stfwells Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Crazy bout a Mercury... But not the wheels. Maybe because down here wires are synonymous with late title loan payments and child support. Quote Link to comment
dat77sun Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 bitchin wagon, but the wheels look like shit, not a fan of wire wheels at all... sweet wagon tho, what motor does it have? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment
Suspect Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 bitchin wagon, but the wheels look like shit, not a fan of wire wheels at all... sweet wagon tho, what motor does it have? Motor is a 260 windsor bolted to a 3 speed manual trans column shift. Quote Link to comment
