Mercury Capri
The 1970-1975 Mercury Capri came from the factory with 13-inch steel wheels as standard equipment, typically measuring 13x5 with a 4x108mm bolt pattern. Higher trim models and later years sometimes featured 14x5.5 steel wheels with the same 4x108mm bolt pattern and fairly conservative positive offset around +25-30mm. Most Capris wore basic steel wheels with trim rings or dog dish hubcaps, though some sporty versions got styled steel wheels with more aggressive designs.
Ford's European influence shows in the Capri's metric bolt pattern, which matches perfectly with our VTO Wheels 4x108mm offerings. You can stick with the original 13x5.5, 13x6, or 13x7 sizes for that authentic period look, or step up to 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, or 15x7 for improved handling and modern tire selection. Our vintage aluminum designs give you that classic mag wheel aesthetic the Capri deserves, available in polished, silver, or black finishes.
The Mercury Capri was Ford's answer to the Mustang's European cousin – literally imported from Germany and designed to capture the sporty coupe market. These cars have developed a cult following among enthusiasts who appreciate their nimble handling and distinctive European styling cues. Today's Capri owners often upgrade to period-correct aluminum wheels to enhance both the look and performance of these increasingly collectible machines.
