History

Founded in 1956 from performance on the track to bravado on the street, there has been one constant innovation. It pushes everything we do. With decades of heritage in American motor sports across every discipline, every turn of an American Racing wheel proves one simple thing, we’re never idling.

The Torq Thrust

The most iconic wheel of all time, the Torq Thrust was developed then and is still going strong over 60 years later. The simple, lightweight 5-spoke design of the Torq Thrust has been the most sought after, and imitated, wheel design ever. In fact, Hot Rod Magazine has named the American Racing Torq Thrust one of the top 20 speed parts that changed the world!

In the Spotlight

Throughout the years American Racing wheels have been involved with just about all forms of racing from drag racing, to desert racing, to Trans Am racing. In addition to the Torq Thrust, wheels like the Libre, LeMans, 200S, and Baja have all been used by winning race teams. The wheels have also become part of mainstream culture being on some of the most famous TV/Movie cars of all time. Bullitt, Dukes of Hazard, Two Lane Blacktop etc all have cars with American Racing wheels as the stars of the show.
