[edit] History
Originally started as Motorsport Distributing in 1984 as a Volkswagen/Audi repair facility. Through very successful retail operations they became some of America's first distributors for well-known brands such as Neuspeed, Recaro, & TSW. Motorsport Distributing did the majority of the research and development work for Bosal exhaust and was the first to bring its products to the American market. In 1998, the company sold its retail operations and focused their efforts on wholesale distribution of aftermarket parts, accessories, and wheels for Audi and Volkswagen automobiles.
[edit] Present
In 2003 Motorsport Distributing merged with FRH International the original manufacturer of Hartmann wheels. After the merger, Hartmann quickly became the largest importer of replacement wheels for Audi, Mercedes Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen automobiles. The company currently specializes in German vehicles.
On January 9, 2006 Hartmann Wheels purchased the Achtuning brand name.
