Wire wheels

[Lyle]

Has anyone considered replacing the Ford stock wheels with wire wheels?. If so is there a source for the correct size wheels? Or is this going too far toward nostalgia?

A good topic! I'm waiting for the company that makes the reproduction Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels which were on the 1962 through 1964 T-birds to come out with a wheel for the new T-Birds. I don't know who reproduces them but the reproduction ones on my '62 T-bird look exactly as the original factory documented wheels (with KH stampings) that are on my 1964 with the exception of the number of spokes.

Try the search feature of this site. There are seven or eight threads dealing with wire wheels. This site is now a veritable cornucopia of Thunderbird facts, information and some fantasy.
