Some quick help.



Remove this line - I am not some kid looking for a free set of wheels

Remove this line - To tell you the truth

Remove the word rolling "I mean, it’s not everyday you see a pearl blue and silver Lexus rolling on 19" Axis Milanos with a 3" polished lip"

Remove this line "This is the exact reason I think that Axis needs me"

Lets face it, they don't need you, and to insist that they do, is rather insulting to them. It's a rule of sales, you would never tell someone they need you or can you help them, because that's saying they don't know jack and they need your help.........

They are the best wheels on the market, not one of "Axis wheels are some of the nicest on the market"

Remove "If my wish of representing Axis were to come true, I would do my best to show others what Axis is all about"

Rather then saying this line, you need to outline what you need from them to be successful. Banners for car shows, brochures and business cards etc....
"I would be willing to sport your name and website address on my car, hand out business cards, flyers, brochures, or anything else to show that Axis really does stand by their products. This is the kind of exposure Axis deserves for the quality products you produce."

Remove - Like I said before, the reason for this letter is not to beg for a free set of wheels

Remove - I am sure you guys get enough of that already

Remove -To tell you the truth, as long as you took the time to read this proposal I am happy. I will still purchase a set of Milanos, and I will enjoy them to the fullest extent

Remove - If you let this dream of mine come true, I can guarantee I won’t let you down. I anxiously await your response. Good or bad, it still makes me feel good to know I was considered


Hum that doesn't leave much content left.............

I would do a color portfolio of your car and fedex it to them also along with your proposal.
This is really to much work for a $2000 set of wheels.

I think a few of us mentioned this in the last thread that was started on this topic. Is all the commitments you will have to make and time you are going to spend going to shows that you are now OBLIGATED to go to (it's no longer a choice) worth a set of low-end to middle of the road wheels?

I don't honestly think it would even be worth a set of Fikse or HREs.

I agree...I just assume talk to a local shop that sells Axis and see if they will give them to you at their cost or cost + 10%

Less obligation and it will save you all this trouble

I would try that...but there are only like 3 local shops....and they are all a joke. What do you think about sending proposals to mail order companies such as Wheel Studio, Wheel Max, or Wheel Depot?? Think they would be at all interested?

Well I think even if some of us disagree with what he wants to do, we still want to help a fellow CL member out..........
