Are you required to put the stickers on if they sponsor you?

And also... how did you go about being sponsored? I'm just wondering because I have a friend planning on sponsorships for his rice-mobile Eclipse.

The Tires are in my Sig, BFGoodrick G-force KD's. Extremely sticky and very well mannered.

About the sponshorship, IT depends on the company.
Typically you dont have to put the stickers on your car, but you do need atleast magnets for when you race. Have to show off the company name, and win races.
Have to be able to prove it before they will give you money though.

Looks sweet man. Do the wheels require special lug bolts? do they not have center caps or what? In the pic it looks like you have none on. one other question, somewhat related, anyone know what the stock alloy fb wheel weigh?

That was a huge down side to the Kosies, no center caps.....

I dont believe that the lug bolts are any different than stock. But I did get new ones with the wheels so I am not totaly sure.

Well they are technically race wheels, so they dont offer anything like that that I am aware of....
I have thought of seeing if I can get some custom billett ones made, but that will probobly be more than its worth.

Man, this section is getting worse than the second gen section

I like them without center caps even 'cause they're nice and clean inside, not just chopped up with a milling machine like some wheels...

branca... I love your car! Oh, and im 18, and defn buying those wheels, just waiting till i finish the engine swap. The center caps, or lack there of, is just a taste thing, im sure many older members wouldn't buy them either.

go to hell. god forbid I want my car to look good, sorry, exposed rusty hubs aren't my thing. God this forum is getting really gay. to those of you I talk to on IM who ask me why I rarely post anymore this is the reason. Oh and being a teenager has nothing to do with it either buddy. The thousands of dollars I've spent on my car up until this point has been all go no show and when I finally drop the money for wheels I want it to look clean. While I'll admit that pic you have a link to there is sweet looking, the exposed hub and grease cap sticks out like a sore thumb.

As is my car, but I'm running out of things I can do short of an engine swap. Anyway thats not a bad idea, painting the hubs silver, upon closer inspection that actually looks like what was done on that silver car. Maybe I'll end up doing that.
