now, devious sucks.

these guys make superbuytires look like first rate business folks.

garrick, why don't you clear this up with "bill" instead of chumping out and passing the buck? i would like to think that you are a little above these wheel guys and have a specific interest in the people that are involved with this contest. nick designed the winning wheel and he can't even get a practical set. we've all known that all along and you haven't done much (to public knowledge) about it. kevin designed an absolute one off masterpiece and he is getting the shaft as well. then there is robbie. his company designed 3 wheels that are worthy of production. a company that is the standard in it's field- and guess what? shafted as well.

i guess ssm was under the impression that in the end, everyone would look away and bonspeed would shake hands under the table any time. now it has backfired into this prolonged bullshit. no one involved can afford a set of wheels with 30 days notice during the holiday season. nick can't even use what devious is trying to give him and devious obviously won't do a thing about it. all garrick has said is "talk to bill" giving us the impression that he doesn't care or has convinced himself that it is out of his hands.

all said and done, no one will get shit. nick will get a set of wheels that are completely useless to him. i hope he puts them in a bonfire.

i hope i am proven wrong in every aspect of my opinion.

Well unfortunately me talking to a cooperation and trying to justify what went wrong and what needs to be done to make it right just isn't going to be heard. When talking to Bill about it at SEMA he was even under the understanding everything would be handled a certain way and it wasn't either. Thus the reason the designs went under the Devious name. I agree, Nick should be given more then what was done and same with the others. If Nick would have designed a wheel to be configured over to 4 lug then he could have had his wheels done for his car. I guess one way to look at it for Nick is this... It definitely brought attention to him on a graphic design aspect and helped him get to where he is in the industry with designing. Agree with me or not, not many people knew of/about him until that contest.

So now all I can do is help voice an opinion of what is right and be the messenger. Other then that any and all competitions/giveaways/contests will be by contract only as to make sure nobody gets the shaft on anything in the end. Live and learn, it sucks because it makes SSM look like the bad guys when all we were trying to do is have an exciting competition but in the end get a lot of the blame.

On another note, Kevin your email was passed on so if I hear anything further I'll let you know.
