METAIRIE, LA (06.10.26) – Custom wheels are one of the first things people notice about a build. Wheel rings are how you make sure they’re still being noticed after dark.

Universal fitment means they work on virtually any car or truck. The question isn’t whether they’ll fit, it’s which version fits your build.

WASHINGTON, DC (06.08.26) – U.S. Representative Diana Harshbarger (R-Tenn.) has been appointed co-chair of the Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus, an important, bipartisan group of lawmakers whose legislative work reflects their unwavering support for America’s car culture and the automotive aftermarket and motorsports industries. As co-chair of the caucus, Harshbarger will partner with Rep. Sanford Bishop (D-Ga.) to educate lawmakers on policies affecting automotive enthusiasts, racers, aftermarket businesses, and the broader motorsports ecosystem.
“Motorsports and automotive performance are woven into the fabric of American culture and support an industry that drives innovation, fuels small businesses, and sustains more than a million jobs across the country,” said Harshbarger. “From manufacturers and suppliers to racers, collectors, and enthusiasts, this industry represents the ingenuity and craftsmanship that make America exceptional. I’m honored to serve as Co-Chair of the Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus alongside Congressman Bishop, and I look forward to working in a bipartisan way to support an industry that means so much to our economy and to communities like ours in East Tennessee.”
The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) applauds this announcement, hailing Harshbarger as a tireless advocate for the interests of aftermarket small businesses and automotive enthusiasts nationwide.
“Rep. Harshbarger understands the economic and cultural importance of America’s automotive aftermarket industry and enthusiast community,” said SEMA CEO Mike Spagnola. “Her leadership and commitment to supporting small businesses, manufacturing, and consumer choice make her a strong advocate for our industry and the millions of Americans who live their best lives through their cars and trucks.”
Harshbarger’s appointment comes at an important time for the nation’s automotive performance industry, which delivers an annual economic impact of $337 billion to the U.S. economy and supports over 1.3 million American jobs.
Harshbarger is leading the effort to secure passage of the “ADAS Functionality and Integrity Act” (H.R. 6688), her bipartisan bill that would protect American vehicle owners’ right to modify vehicles with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The bill requires the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to study the impact of vehicle modifications on safety systems and empowers the agency to publish guidelines to ensure that life-saving technology, such as automatic emergency braking, continues to work as designed after a vehicle has been modified.
SEMA looks forward to working with Harshbarger, Bishop, and caucus members to advance policies that protect consumer access to automotive customization, support domestic manufacturing, and preserve the future of motorsports and enthusiast activities nationwide.
