Re-inventing the Wheel
American Racing traces their roots back more than 50 years, and continue to reinvent themselves and, quite literally, the wheel. Today’s American Racing still prides itself on the mission that began when drag racing innovator Romeo Palamides teamed up with J.O. Ellison, a San Francisco machine shop owner, to design and craft high strength-to-weight ratio racing wheels for his dragster. Palamides and Ellison, along with engineering innovator Tom Griffith formed the pioneering company in aftermarket wheels. From the golden age of hot rodding to today’s street enthusiast, American Racing is reinventing the way wheels are viewed from the classics to new trend-setting styles.
