Your best threads are ready for the show and you are ready to party like a rock star. Ask anybody and they’ll say it’s all about the shoes, or the dees, for your car. The dub show features some whiz with a bunch of decals talking about sponsorships. The neon sign flickers in your head: KMC Wheels could sponsor your new rim project.

Visiting your favorite dub manufacturer might sound like a great idea, but a bit of Googling tells you that the company’s located somewhere called Cerritos, formerly known as Dairy Valley. The milk moniker should be slapping you in the face as an omen: get practical. Bribe that friend of yours with the great camera and download your sponsorship request form.
Explain the need to roll in Lorenzo 5-lug chrome dees with gloss black windows to your cameraman, with as many pictures as possible. Take her to a show, she’ll come to understand. If needed, wheedle for some glamour shots of this and any previous projects. If this is your first one, try to get the light and scenery right envisioning your car in the desired rims.
When filling out the request form, avoid your personal feelings. Imagine you are your boss or high school math teacher, you know, the one who demanded the best from you. An objective description of the project would include the make, model and year of the car; the color and any prominent features that would turn heads and cause a fuss when cruising slowly in major residential areas.
The next section on the form is for completed and planned modifications. Show off your savvy in this section and use accepted modern English, not the slang that leaves your buddies’ jaws agape. When working with a custom shop, invite the mechanic for a beer and some wings to discuss the possibilities before completing this section.
Over beer you might want to mention the possibility of further sponsorship, perhaps in the form of a baseball cap or jacket. Apparel should be worn inside the car and should be appropriate. T-shirts might be cheap and quick to produce, but a polo shirt with a tasteful logo will be more effective.
When addressing your plans on how to show off your car, first contact car washes, garages, and local advertising and media agencies. Use those fantastic photos of your project and plans to gain contacts in the business. Advertising with props such as a sleek car, especially with sweet dees, is definitely in these companies’ best interests.
Finally, KMC Wheels will need to know why you are seeking them as a sponsor. This is simply a why-I-love-you speech. Remember to mention style and reputation, and most importantly, why your frame needs their dubs. Once the form is signed and sent together with the appropriate photographs, go on as if sponsorship never crossed your mind. This will make rejection easier to handle, and acceptance all the sweeter.
