American Racing Wheels mean style and performance and represent the pinnacle of the custom wheels and rims world. When choosing custom wheels there are many factors to
consider. These include price range, style, reputation, quality, and available finishes.
When considering these custom wheel factors, few brands can compete with American
Racing wheels. For example American Racing offers wheels in beautiful finishes like chrome,
black, polished, anthracite, silver, and machined. American Racing also offers custom wheels in very
affordable price ranges with complete American Racing wheels sets starting at less than $300!
When it comes to style, nothing beats American Racing wheels. Classic styles like the Torq Thrust,
the Aero, and the Razor come in a variety of sizes and finishes that offer whatever style
you are looking for both road and track. The American Racing Torq Thrust is famous for its classic
look that was first developed in 1954 by a drag racer and an engineer in San Francisco who wanted an
American custom wheel for racing. The Torq Thrust was specifically designed for drag racing
and was made with a "tapered parabolic contour" spoke, as opposed to a semi-solid
modular design. This design increased brake cooling and decreased wheel mass, making it a more efficient
wheel. In fact the Torq Thrust is credited for creating the entire custom wheel industry.
Over the course of the last six decades, no brand has matched American Racing wheels for reliability,
quality, and a reputation for classic styling and high performance that few other custom wheels can
match.
With staggered fitments on many of its wheels, American Racing offers drivers of great cars like
the Ford Mustang, the Dodge Challenger, and the Chevy Corvette, a number of fantastic high
performance options that will make heads turn and offer exceptional styling and unbelievable
value. American Racing Wheels have come to stand for quality and value in a world where both of
these concepts are fast disappearing. In fact, American Racing Wheels are used by many collectors
of classic cars who want to perpetuate a vintage racing look but want the reliability, performance,
and value of new custom wheels that only American Racing can deliver.
With sizes as small as 13 inches and as large as 24 inches, American Racing wheels will fit any
ride you have and provide you with a memorable look when you drive down the street in your neighborhood
or when you race on the track. American Racing Wheels are legendary in the custom wheel and rim world
for many reasons ranging from their classic styling to their exceptional value and high performance.
With great styles and sizes and bolt patterns to match classic and new muscle cars, trucks, and other
vehicles, American Racing wheels are a force to be reckoned with that speaks to both the history of
custom wheels and rims and the future of driving.
