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. Romeos vision, working from a small machine shop in San Francisco with his partner, engineer Jim Ellison, evolved into Americas leading aftermarket wheel company. In 1956, they formed American Racing Equipment.

Over forty years later, American Racing and its 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.
