Palamides's work with engineer Tom Griffith, operating from Jim Ellison's small machine shop in San Francisco, evolved into the aftermarket wheel company.

Through comprehensive testing, the company has demonstrated that Teflon finish considerably enhances the wheels' resistance to common contaminants such as brake dust, dirt, road film, and ultraviolet degradation.

The ATX-Series, consisting of the Mojave, Diamond Lock II, and Victor models, embodies this new technology.

It was one of the first wheels to go over 200 mph safely, hence the name 200 S. The LeMans was another 4-spoke, 4-lug design, cast in sizes and fitments for sports cars such as Alfa Romeo, MGB and Datsun 240Z.

Each tapered spoke was wider at the hub than at the rim, giving a lightweight appearance similar to Ferrari wheels of the period.

The Vector is a 5-lug, 10-spoke, one-piece aluminum wheel used on the '69 Dodge Charger called the General Lee,[7] from the television show The Dukes of Hazzard.
