History

Established in 1970.

Beginning in 1970, newlyweds, Nancy and Perry Sands created Performance Machine. Starting with relatively crude tools and the singular passion to build motorcycles, they became the local magnet for custom hungry Southern California bikers. Everything from sissy bars to wild one-​off front ends came out of their Paramount, CA shop. Perry’s true passion though, was high Performance. Experimenting with some of the available aftermarket disc brakes, the Sands quickly realized that nothing out there would live up to their standards. The obvious solution would be to create it, on their own. Wheels were next on the needs-​improvement list and PM was again the innovator in both custom and race applications. Always the innovator, PM has also established the first ever in-​house testing facility in the US wheel and brake aftermarket. Perry and Nancy Sands have made their mark in one of the most exciting and dynamic industries on the world!
