VISION WHEEL PARTNERS WITH ROB MACCACHREN Vision Wheel announced that veteran off-road racer and champion Rob MacCachren will be partnering to showcase the company's bead-lock race wheels , which will be used on MacCachren's Rockstar Energy Ford F-150 during the 2016 season. "We want to position Vision Wheel as the premier off-road wheel company and there is no better way to do that than to partner with the industry's premier driver," said Ray Gutierrez, Marketing Director in Corona, CA. "When it comes to off-road racing, Rob MacCachren represents the best in the business and we are honored that he has selected Vision Wheel to be a part of his team." A manufacturer of custom wheels for cars and trucks, the company expanded its presence in off-road racing in early 2015, when it announced a partnership with SCORE International. With a new partnership with Rob MacCachren, the company will have greater visibility within SCORE's five race series that includes television and online media. MacCachren is a veteran of SCORE racing, and most recently won the 2015 Baja 1000 this past November. "Vision Wheel has a longstanding reputation for the production of quality products. We're very selective about the partners and products we embrace, and we believe Vision to be the perfect complement to our long-standing tire partner, BFGoodrich® Tires," said MacCachren. "We're excited about the partnership and look forward to opportunities to help Vision further develop its motorsports program."
