Boyd’s remarkable success with the production and sale of high-end billet-aluminum custom wheels is unprecedented, and his specialty-vehicle designs have received worldwide acclaim for craftsmanship and originality. He opened Hot Rods by Boyd in the late 1970s, while the late 1980s brought Boyd Wheels. His custom rims gained fans in the hot rod world as well as the hip-hop community. Meanwhile, his custom vehicles garnered Boyd the Grand National Roadster Show's America's Most Beautiful Roadster Award, the Daimler-Chrysler Design Excellence Award, the National Rod & Custom Museum Hall of Fame, the Route 66 Hall of Fame, the Grand National Roadster Show Hall of Fame and the Hot Rod Hall of Fame.
