American Racing Equipment Inc. is a manufacturer of wheels sold via the aftermarket retail sector. Production started during the muscle car era in the United States. Platinum Equity investment group acquired American Racing Equipment Inc in June 2005. Romeo Palamides, an early drag racing innovator and grandfather of jet car racing, designed and crafted leading edge, high strength-to-weight magnesium drag racing wheels for a competition dragster constructed in the early 1950s. The vehicle debuted on the cover of the November 1956 issue of Hot Rod Magazine. In the early years of hot rodding, the car gained attention and generated street-enthusiast interest in lightweight, high-tech wheels designed for the car. Romeo's vision, working from Jim Ellison's small machine shop in San Francisco, along with engineer Tom Griffith, evolved into the aftermarket wheel company. In 1956, they formed American Racing Equipment. More information...
