    While it is not my dream of having a cool 50's or 60's wagon again, it is a wagon I guess. 90K original miles, everything is new on it, interior is VERY clean, 30MPG and COLD A/C........Going to have it painted soon. Anybody have any 13 or 14 inch 4 lug rims that would fit ?? I want to dress it up a bit.

    It is a good beater, but I miss my 68 Chevelle wagon. Man I am a jackass for selling that.

    Like a Plymouth Colt? I had one of those and they were quick! Misers on gas, and cheap to run. Think of a Ford Escort wagon size. The Colt was a nice car.

    I traded UP for my new 1981 Fairmont Futura Wagon! :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

    Kerry that is a great little wagon. So why not do a little customizing to make it truly yours and a wagon that is different.

    This is what I found online

    Mercury Tracer (all) 1988-up (4x114.3mm / 12x1.5 Lug-nut / 59.60mm Bore)

    Looks like the same bolt pattern for many different imports as well

    Off the top of my head, the Infiniti G20, Nissan 240 SX and the 2000 - 2006 Sentra have this bolt pattern (I was into Nissans a few years agao). You could probably pick up a set of these wheels for cheap.
