Allied - Pacer wheels

Allied – Pacer Wheels – Classic American Steel & Alloy Rims Since 1972

Allied–Pacer represents the coming together of two deeply rooted American wheel traditions. Pacer Wheels has been shaping the aftermarket wheel landscape since the early 1970s, building a reputation around reliable construction, honest fitments, and designs that honor classic American automotive culture — from restored muscle cars and hot rods to hardworking trucks and SUVs. Allied Wheel Components has an even deeper manufacturing history, with roots stretching back to a family-owned business in the 1970s that initially supplied stamped steel wheels to American Racing and Cragar before evolving into a full-service aftermarket wheel manufacturer headquartered in Garden Grove, California.

Under Allied's President Bruce Higginson, the company transformed from a steel wheel supplier into a comprehensive wheel manufacturer with in-house CNC equipment, billet wheel programs, aluminum welding teams, and proprietary beadlock technology. Unlike many competitors that rely entirely on overseas manufacturing, Allied fabricates its aftermarket and steel wheels domestically, with cast wheels designed in-house before production. This vertically integrated approach ensures tighter quality control and faster response to market trends — an advantage that has allowed the Allied–Pacer family to remain competitive for over four decades.

Built for Classic Trucks, Muscle Cars, and Hard Workers

The Pacer wheel lineup has always been shaped by a clear understanding of its core audience: drivers who value proven style, dependable durability, and broad fitment flexibility. Pacer's catalog covers steel and cast aluminum wheels in a vast size range — from 12-inch utility options up to 22-inch custom-diameter designs — in widths spanning 4 to 14 inches. Offset options range dramatically, from deeply negative off-road specs to standard positive offsets for street applications. This breadth of sizing makes Pacer one of the most versatile fitment options in the classic and light truck wheel segment. For vintage truck owners and classic car restorers, Pacer's steel wheel lineup delivers the authentic OEM look with modern finish quality. Clean modular designs with precision-machined holes and simulated rivets have made certain Pacer steel models perennial favorites for early Ford F-150, Chevrolet C10/K10/K20, and Jeep Wrangler builds. For those seeking the upgraded appearance of aluminum without abandoning that workmanlike character, Pacer's one-piece and composite cast alloy wheels deliver clean aesthetics in polished, chrome, satin black, and machined finishes. Every Pacer wheel ships with a lifetime structural warranty and a one-year finish warranty, reflecting the brand's genuine confidence in its manufacturing standards.

Allied's Racing Heritage and Beadlock Technology

What sets the Allied side of this pairing apart from conventional wheel brands is a legitimately race-tested engineering background. Allied Wheel created the Raceline Wheels brand, which became the official wheel of SCORE International — the organizing body behind the legendary Baja 500 and Baja 1000 desert races. This racing involvement pushed Allied's engineers to develop advanced beadlock wheel technology, which keeps tires firmly seated on the rim at extremely low inflation pressures used in desert and rock-crawling competition. Allied then applied those same design and engineering principles to street-legal and recreational off-road products, meaning that when you buy an Allied-backed wheel, you are benefiting from technology proven in the world's most brutal off-road environments.

The Right Wheel for Every Build

Whether you are restoring a numbers-matching 1970 Chevelle, building a custom street rod on a vintage Deuce coupe platform, upgrading a daily-driven F-150, or fitting a Jeep Wrangler for weekend trail use, the Allied–Pacer family has a fitment for you. The combination of classic American styling, honest value pricing, a lifetime structural warranty, and a manufacturing history that spans more than 50 years makes Allied–Pacer a trusted name that belongs in any serious discussion of American aftermarket wheels.
