Default Wheel Sponsorship???

I am looking to rep and promote some companies in the Charlotte, NC area. I cant find any if not no modded lexus vehicles in this area. Primarily a few pro players here and there around uptown Charlotte. I am interested in getting involved with some companies on the east coast and doing what the require for a wheel or interior/exterior sponsorship.

Does anyone have any ideas of companies looking to hit a huge market with a substantial clientele?

lol. dont be cheap... buy wheels for your car. You cant just go out and ask for a sponsorship. 99% of the time they come to you.

Thats just my .02. anyways GL with your search

being in the industry... your changes of getting sponsored are slim to none.. UNLESS you have a kick **** modded car that brings sooooooooooooooooo much attention and interest wherever you go. Post pics of your car.

Yeah, that is going to be a challenge. NC is not exactly a hotbed of automotive trends... you need to come up with a specific plan and proposal to approach manufacturers with - how YOU will help them with exposure and increase SALES of their product. This will require substantial investment of time, energy, and money on your part with a commitment to build, transport and show the car at events at a moment's notice.

Unless you are an established car builder, the days of sponsorships are pretty much gone.

Thanks for all the responses. I know Charlotte is lacking in auto trends but was throwing a bone to any companies that are interested. I am not a car builder and only done minor mods to my vehicles in the past. Eurowise is here but they only work on BMW Audi and VW.
