BIRTH OF A PRODUCT LINE
Billet Specialties has been on the forefront of manufacturing billet aluminum wheels since the start; right here in the USA.
Their first wheel was machined in 1989. It was a three-piece wheel. Working at his father’s side and learning manufacturing and machine programming, Glenn soon had aspirations of his own. After machining some parts for his 1932 Ford Coupe, it was time to bring his love of cars into the business. At the young age of 26, Glenn began designing and producing parts for the street rod and muscle car market. That's how Billet Specialties was born.
In 1990, two-piece wheels became the standard for the Hot Rod Industry. These innovative designs allowed custom fitments creating the perfect fit for your vehicle.
Starting off in a 4,000 sq ft. area, it was only two years before the space became too small and a 20,000 sq ft. building was purchased to handle the growth. As sales and production continued to grow, expansion continued into a second 24,000 sq ft. building in 1997.
In 2002, they moved to their current 100,000 sq ft. building, bringing the entire operation back under one roof.
