Spoke wheels have never been, will never go out of style. They are even extremely popular, right now.
So Performance Machine went beyond fancy forged wheel designs and created new Spoked Wire Wheels mixing the classic style of spokes with modern CNC machining on rims.
The Merc Wire Wheel (top) serves nostalgia two ways. The ribbed concentric lines machined around the diameter of the smooth rim lip are paired with a set of classic spokes that are reminiscent of the Hot Rod era. Subtle and stylish, the Merc is timeless.
Finishes in chrome, contrast cut platinum, black ops. Matching discs and belt pulleys and chain sprockets.
The Spoked Wire wheel (bottom) is a perfect blend of classic spoke styling and modern CNC-machined rim detail. The aluminum hoop, integrated hub and stainless steel spokes keep these wheels lightweight, yet strong.

Sweet! Tho I had to go to the PM website to really appreciate the detail of both these wheels by looking at enlarged images. Worth a look!
If cleaning just we be easier !
But they have been around for a while already…
if/when they make them tubeless sales will increase, at least for me
$1300 and up?
how much to have your own run powder coated and sent to buchanans? or even laced to an excel rim?
RIM
Not new. This line bombed a few years ago
Tsharp. Not true. Competitor? And spoke wheels are more desirable now, especially in a new rim package.
I remember a Shop displaying the merc laced wheels about 3 to 4 years ago. They seem to have come and went pretty quickly. I really haven’t seen or heard from them since then… Until today
They are definitely 3-4 years old and they are a tubeless design. I have used a set a couple years ago.
