American Racing

Born On The Track, Bred For The Street

​American Racing, established in 1956 by drag racing pioneer Romeo Palamides, has become a prominent name in the automotive wheel industry. The company initially gained recognition by producing cutting-edge magnesium aftermarket wheels during America's formative racing years.


A significant milestone in American Racing's history is the development of the Torq Thrust wheel in 1963. This simple, lightweight, 5-spoke design has become one of the most iconic muscle car wheels ever produced. Hot Rod Magazine named the Torq Thrust one of the top 20 speed parts that changed the world.


Beyond the racetrack, American Racing has left its mark on popular culture. Their wheels have been featured on some of the most famous TV and movie cars, including the Ford Mustang in "Bullitt," the Dodge Charger in "The Dukes of Hazzard," and the Chevrolet One-Fifty in "Two-Lane Blacktop." 


Throughout its history, American Racing has been involved in various forms of motorsports, from drag and desert racing to Trans Am competitions. Wheels like the Libre, LeMans, 200S, and Baja have all been used by winning race teams.
