American car parts supplier USAutomotive has been appointed the official distributor for the American Racing range of custom wheels.

The line-up includes the popular Torq Thrust five-spoke wheel which is now available in a number of new sizes up to 20-inch diameter.

California-based American Racing's roots go back to the 1950s with high strength-to-weight ratio magnesium wheels for drag racers. The company will offer more than 70 custom wheels for modern cars and pick-ups, through USAutomotive's distribution operation in Bedford.
