 American Racing Wheels

American Racing -  A Company With Roots. 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.
American Racing Today - Wheels That Perform. Over forty years later, American Racing and it's 1700 employees offer a complete line of over one hundred precision crafted alloy wheel styles with the same pride, innovation and enthusiasm upon which Romeo Palamides' original vision was founded.  From American Racing's three state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities AR produced over 3.1 million wheels in 2001, including original equipment wheels for major auto manufacturers. American Racing wheels are distributed from company-owned, satellite-connected warehouses, an independent distributor system in the U.S. and through international distributors in over thirty-five countries on four continents.
The Vision Continues - American Racing's legacy of wheelcrafting continues. Each wheel represents our heritage and an extension of Romeo Palamides' original vision of innovation and cutting edge.  That innovation includes the new Teflon Coated line of all-terrain off-road  wheels.  Following two years of development targeted at American Racing's Motorsports Program authorized by an exclusive license with DuPont, American Racing now offers a line of off-road and SUV styles permanently coated with a baked-on, oven applied all-terrain finish with Teflon.  These wheels provide a durable, long lasting finish that is very easy to clean. The Teflon coated styles are: the Mojave, the Victor, the Diamond Lock II, and the new for 2005 Chamber.
Types of wheels

1-piece wheels - As the name implies a one-piece wheel is made of a single piece, usually a cast aluminum wheel from A-356 grade aluminum.  These custom wheels come in a variety of finishes. 

Clear Coated and Machine Finished Wheels - This type of aluminum wheel has a machined finish that has been clear coated to protect the aluminum and is very easy to clean and maintain.  The following wheels have this finish:  Outlaw I, Outlaw II, AR-23, and the diamond cut finish with clear coat Diamond Back.

Polished Wheels - This type of aluminum wheel has been fully polished for a brilliant shine.  Polished wheels do not have any coatings for protection.  Regular washing and polishing are required to keep a polished wheels original luster.  Wheel cleaners are not recommended for polished wheels, also, polished wheels are not recommended in severe climates where salt may be present on roads.  While these wheels are harder to maintain, they are a less expensive option than chrome plated aluminum wheels, and with proper care and maintenance will provide years of service and great looks.  The following wheels have this finish:  Polished Mojave, Polished Burst, Polished Ventura, Polished Nitro, Polished Atlas, Polished Python, Polished Baja, as well as the new for 2005 Polished Crater, and the Rodmaster.
Chrome Plated Wheels - This type of aluminum wheel has been polished for a smooth finish and then chrome plated for a brilliant, mirror-like finish that is very easy to clean.  Regular washing with soap, water, and wiping clean is all the maintenance required for a chrome plated aluminum wheel.  Since they are aluminum they do not rust, and properly cared for can even be used in severe climate areas.  The following wheels have this finish: Maxim, Prism, Chrome Torq Thrust ST, Matrix, Chrome Mojave, Vanguard, Burst, Magnet, Chrome Diamond Back, Jammer II, Raven, Chrome Ventura, Hype, Titan, Wolverine, Chrome Nitro, Chrome Atlas, Phantom, Victor, Chrome Baja, Kahuna, and Chrome Python.
