History

Founded in 1916, Dayton Wire Wheel was quick to establish itself as a premier designer and manufacturer of wire wheels. The
company continues to design products.

From the beginning, Dayton Wire Wheel set a high quality standard for the automotive industry. The Wright Brothers
depended on Dayton Wire Wheel, Henry Ford chose Daytons, as did Charles Lindburg for the Spirit of St. Louis. Auburn,
Cord and Duesenberg rode on Daytons, along with nearly thirty other makes. Dayton Wire Wheels were also put to the
test for thirty years of racing in the Indianapolis 500. Many British and Italian sports car owners choose Daytons and the lowriders hop and dance
on Daytons. Street rod designers and builders have discovered Daytons and Harley-Davidson owners ride on American Wire
Wheels made by Dayton.

Over the years, Dayton Wire Wheels has evolved through the incorporation of new technology and materials,
changing with the times without compromising the classic styling. As a result, today’s Dayton Wire Wheel retain a
distinct, but contemporary look.
