Car, where wife put on shoes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wheels

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'car' is the definition.
(wheels can informally mean a car)

'wife put on shoes' is the wordplay.
'wife' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'put on shoes' becomes 'heels' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'w'+'heels'='WHEELS'

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wheels that I've seen before include "Circular frames with spokes" , "Turns in a wide curve" , "Circular spoked frames" , "Personal transport" , "Rotary devices - motor transport" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
