*Sponsorship Opportunity: Light Concave, Deep Concave, and Step-Lip Concave Wheels!*


Hello Everyone,
We are pleased to announce that one of the manufacturers that we have been in contact with is looking for a select few vehicles to extend partial sponsorships to. This is a new concave forged wheel company based out of Southern California that has been in development for over a year and is coming to market shortly. While they have only allowed us to publically disclose certain details prior to the official launch, full details, photos, and information will be provided to those that will be selected for this offer. We can share that this company has set out to create the highest quality product on the market, with no expense spared. They are incorporating many unique features, top-quality components, superior manufacturing processes, and, from what we have seen, the designs are intricate and extremely attractive. If you are looking for a bargain concave wheel, this is probably not the best opportunity for you (we are planning a special on a more affordable line in the future). However, if you are looking for the best of the best with no compromises, this is a great opportunity to get on board at an attractive price point. There will be three configurations offered: Light Concave, Deep Concave, and the ultra rare Step-Lip Concave. As part of this partial sponsorship deal, the pricing will be comparable to the most affordable concave brands we offer, starting in the mid $4k range for the light concave configuration.


To apply, please send an E-Mail to Info@Showroom-Motorsports.com with "Sponsorship" in the title.
In the E-mail, please include the following:
Full name
Phone Number
Photo of the vehicle
Current and/or Planned Modification List



We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Like everything else, blame the economy. Can we get pics of the wheels? Hard to decide if a 10% discount is worth it. Do we have to pay for the pics too?

Ironic as it sounds I know people who would jump over this. There is some poor sap who will jump hoops to be featured. I know these people and a certain friend of mine comes to mind.

Back in the day, magazines, wheel companies paid you to showcase their product provided you met the attendance regiment that they stipulate.
Now these same vendors want you to do all this and then pay out of pocket?
You know what i got from my video shoot from Vossen? Nothing, not a discount, not even a return phone call when i wanted to hook my friend up with a set of rims.
Incurve is at least offering me wheels at their manufacturing cost.

I respect Showroom Motorsports as a vendor, they compete with the big boys... They are one of the largest wheel distributors in the country, they advertise everywhere......their advertising budget has gotta be huge.... yet it's not in the budget to offer someone a premium set of wheels, or even loan them for a year?

10% off is a sponsorship? That only sounds free shipping to me.

Where did this mysterious 10% off figure come from? You are getting a MUCH larger discount than 10%!

Wheels in this range cost thousands more, comparatively speaking. Not to mention these wheels are in a league of their own as far as quality, choice of components, and features. I wish we can disclose more, but we were told not to prior to their official launch. This is a PHENOMENAL opportunity, especially for a product of this caliber. It is a partial sponsorship; I have never in my 10+ years in the industry seen a forged wheel being offered at full sponsorship. I personally have been sponsored by a few forged wheel companies back in the day, and they were all partial sponsorship deals. Remember, these aren't cast wheels which cost $100/wheel to produce...

With all that being said, thank you everyone for the feedback, both negative and positive. We purposely put the price in the thread (if you notice none of the vendors, including us, usually do so) as we knew this opportunity wasn't for everyone and didn't want to mislead any members on the forum.

I for one dont know where the 10% discount came from.

Dont BS us.........10 years ago? Forged wheels were once a monopoly 10 years ago by you know who......Then someone got the idea to come up with their own design and with no reputation...they charged more money.
Of course 10 years ago, there wasn't full sponsorships back then, bc no one made them.

Another forged rim company is gaining in popularity as these overpriced food trucks?

Whats the name of this rare wheel company, another Miami startup "Abuelita Forged"?

More importantly, where are these forged wheels manufactured? What type of history does this manufacturer have in the wheel industry, generally speaking. Thanks!

So these wheels encrusted with Diamonds or something? Almost 5k for a sponsorship wheel is border line insane. So I guess there quality if far above DPE, HRE, BBS etc etc. I just dont see it, sounds a little like bs to me. This company wont be around very long.

That may be the point...
  1. Contract cheap manufacturer
  2. Market/hype product
  3. Sell high
  4. Close business
  5. ???
  6. Profit
