Furthermore, TSW’s best-in-class brands complement the Wheel Pros portfolio very well and provide a great opportunity for us to expand our customer relationships with new and exciting products,” said Randy White, CEO and co-founder of Wheel Pros. “Our comprehensive suite of aftermarket brands and designs truly encompasses all driver lifestyles and preferences. We are excited to partner with Terence to drive accelerated growth in the business.”

“We have known Terence for years and are excited to now work together to grow our combined portfolio. More and more people are looking to change from their OEM wheels to custom branded aftermarket alternatives to showcase their individuality and style. Over the past year, we have seen many new customers enter the segment, customizing their vehicles for the first time. With the acquisition of TSW, Wheel Pros enhances its brand awareness and innovative design capabilities to meet the needs of a rapidly growing customer base,” added Jody Groce, president and co-founder of Wheel Pros.
