We Pay Homage to One of the Best

Anyone who’s been around classic trucks, hot rods, drag-racing, or motorsports in general from the ’80s on will know the name Billet Specialties. An industry giant and a household name these days, we go back to this industry icon to pay the homage it deserves. Standing strong on this special cover, this Famous Flamed OBS tells the tale of an American-made icon and a staple in the custom truck and car community.

Like a kid in a candy store; polished billet everything in every corner of the showroom is enough to make anyone smile as they pull out their wallet.

Wheels are what Billet Specialties is most known for, and the quality speaks for itself. Take a closer look and admire the extreme quality Billet Specialties’ products possess.

Where were you back in 1985, almost four decades ago?! Well Glenn Grozich was launching his original hot-rod custom billet accessory line, called “Billet Specialties” and began producing billet accessories for the street-rod industry. The attention to detail, fit, and finish were unprecedented. Quality, quality, quality is something Glenn and crew stuck by, and they began expanding into custom billet wheels, front-drive accessories, engine dressup, interior additions and custom billet steering wheel lines. “History Re-defined by Styling” is the company’s motto, and the Billet Specialties family sticks to it by developing wheels that define hot-rodding and vintage style.

Engine accessories and drive pulleys make up a major part of the operation at Billet Specialties these days.

Design and engineering all happen in-house and onsite, which helps with efficiency and quality control.

Perfect for the OBS and custom streettuck enthusiast, the Billet Specialties Original Equipment Series line of wheels beefs up the look and size of the past while allowing clearance for big performance modern braking systems. The Legends Series offers three styles that look great on muscle cars, street rods, and classic trucks; these styles have set trends in the hot-rod world at an entry-level price. The blend of multiple surfaces comes together to create dramatic features in these wheels, and they are produced from millions of lines of machining code executed on state-of-the-art CNC machines. The soft, flowing detail of each spoke is a telltale sign that Billet Specialties products are much more than the ordinary straight-cut billet wheel. The attention to detail pays off in styling that screams excellence. The products are custom-built just for you and available in a wide range of diameters, from 17 to 26 inches.
