American racing rims came into the market about 50
years back when Romeo Palamides designed one for his own use.
The five-spoke wheels in the 1960’s became very popular
and since then, the industry has grown over the years. At
present, there are around 100 designs available from American
Racing wheels in the market. Around 1700 people are employed
in the industry and a whopping number of 3.1 million rims
were sold in 2001.
The American racing standard was a four-spoke rim wheel that
came into production in 1967. During the sixties and the seventies,
all Top fuel dragsters used motorcycle laced rim wheels in
the front. The extremely successful ones were American Racing
five-spoke Torq Thrust D 5 spokes rim wheels. Teflon coated
wheels are the latest innovation of the American racing wheels
industry. These rim wheels are admired, as they are brake
dust, dirt and weather resistant. These wheels also provide
a three-year warranty. It is advisable to buy these rims online,
as that will save both your time and money. There are hundreds
