ABOUT US
Scarallo Motorsport Wheels is a wheel line birthed by a true automotive purist, and enthusiast almost 35 years ago. If you are an automotive enthusiast who loves your car, this is the line of wheels for you. Joe Scarallo started his automotive career in Australia, working for Holden at the age of seventeen. Within twelve months he quickly became one of the top salesmen, and before he was twenty having his own dealership or bringing his family to America became the two current life choices.
Mr. Scarallo chose to come to America. After a short stint involved in Goodyear tire distribution, the Scarallo family business became very involved with custom wheel end of the industry. Mixing performance with fashion, where "form follows function"
The beginning days started with distribution and collaboration with companies such as Centerline, HRE, MSW, Fittipaldi, and O.Z. Racing, just to name a few. Because the factories were surprisingly out of touch with the cars that they were building wheels for, Mr. Scarallo quickly became the leader in fitment expertise throughout the country for many of these companies, especially O.Z. Many of the Porsche, Mercedes and BMW fitments in the 80’s came about because of Joe Scarallo’s master minding.
By the late 80's the company had grown to be the largest O.Z. distributor in the country, selling more MSW and Fittipaldi wheels, than any of the other mail order houses, even of today. Then it came time for expertise to stay in-house and have our own name on it. And so, Scarallo Motorsport Wheels was born, and Scarallo-ROH Wheels, began to infiltrate and change the U.S. market forever. The aftermarket history from Domestic to European car, has our fingerprint on it at some point. In many areas of the market Joe Scarallo was the first.
It was Scarallo-ROH Wheels which was the first and only to engineer a 9.5” wide wheel for FOX Chassis Mustangs, (1978-1993) back when a 16x8 was the widest wheel anyone else offered.
Joe Scarallo was the pioneer behind the SLP Firehawk wheel for Pontiac, 1997-2000. We later engineered that same wheel for Chevrolet when they were looking to ad some fresh life to the struggling Caprice of the 90’s. That car was called the Impala SS. Scarallo-ROH made a few hundred wheels for GM prototype Caprices, in a 9.5” wide wheel. Unfortunately, a copy of the wheel was made for the production model. That story can be told another time..
The history goes on and on. To this day, Scarallo Motorsport Wheels is the only wheel company to make a 10” wide wheel for the rear of a Pontiac GTO. And, we also lay claim to being the first wheel company to make a 20x10 front and 20x11 rear for the new 5th Gen Camaro when it came out in 2010, even before Chevrolet made those sizes for the 1LE and ZL1 to be released in later years.
Joe Scarallo has been making his mark in the wheel industry for over 35 years. Today, all of our wheels have been streamlined and marked by one simple name, Scarallo. All Scarallo wheels are built with the nicest fit and finish in mind. Correct, aggressive fitments are our prime expertise. If your wheels do not say Scarallo on them, they are not as great as they could be.
