| In 1954, Romeo Palamides, an early drag racing innovator, designed and crafted leading edge, high strength-to-weight magnesium drag racing wheels for his dragster. It was the early years of hot rodding and street enthusiast interest in the lightweight, higher tech wheels was overwhelming. Romeo's vision, working from a small machine shop in San Francisco with his partner, engineer Jim Ellison, evolved into America's leading aftermarket wheel company. In 1956, they formed American Racing Equipment. The Vision Continues. With our 2004 Aftermarket Collection and the Pro Series Drag Racing Line, American Racing's legacy of wheel crafting continues. Each wheel represents our heritage and an extension of Romeo Palamides' original vision of innovation and cutting edge. |
