American Racing Wheels |
The American Racing
Vintage Wheel Collection is the icon of American hot rod & muscle car
enthusiasts. In the late fifties American Racing introduced the original
magnesium five-spoke American Racing® Torq Thrust®. With its unique,
tapered parabolic spoke design, it is considered by many to be the most
famous wheel of all time & was only recently named by Hot Rod magazine
as one of twenty speed parts that changed the world (Hot Rod, November
2004). Those five-spoked American “mags,” admired by so many on the drag
strip, quickly made the conversion from strip to street, kicking off the
custom wheel craze. Now, 50 years after American Racing was founded, the
American car culture & the passion that drives it continues,
attracting new generations of hot rodders, vintage enthusiasts, &
muscle maniacs. With the same passion that started in that small machine
shop in San Francisco fifty years ago, American Racing’s commitment to
genuine, authentic hot rod wheels continues. With this commitment in
mind, American’s Torq Thrust II & Hopster wheels were custom-designed
to feature period correctness, functional backspacing requirements with
custom sizes & modern engineering standards. As the Official Wheel of
the Hot Rod Magazine PowerTour, Don Schumacher Racing, California
Speedway & many other events, you’ll see American Racing wheels at
every show or just around town, cruisin’. |
