American Force Wheels is one of the most cutting edge, high end wheel companies in the business. Recently, they held a “Dream Wheels Sweepstakes” offering one lucky winner the chance to win an all expenses paid trip to Miami,a behind the scenes look at American Force Wheels. Once there, they get the chance to custom design their own wheels, see them made and roll out with them on their truck. How cool is that? All we have to say is we want to be “Going to Miami, Bienviendos a Miami.”

After a number of great entries, it was Mike Schneider, of Tampa, Florida, submission that made him the lucky winner. Mike is part owner of JDP Studios and with his team, created not one but two videos to enter. The first video is the real deal explaining how his clean but simplistic 2005 Duramax with an 8″ Fabtech lift is keyed up to 12″ and is rolling on 22″ Rockstar wheels wrapped in 37″ tires. Apparently, Mike and his team roll out in this truck to all shoots for their company and company events and are starting to look “tore up from the floor up” and desperately needed American Force help. His goal is to take his truck to the next level and American Force is just the group to help make that happen.  During his video, he offers to shoot the whole experience and show what his trip to Miami turns out like, (well, at least the parts that can be shown on film…wink, wink, nod, nod).

In addition, to the main entry, Mike and his team also rolled out a “behind the scenes” video. In the video, they make fun on themselves, show the number of outtakes, etc. Our favorite highlights of the video include a shout out to GoPro for their drone camera they use…hollering, robots for life, and their big blow out with the Glade Hawaiian Breeze scent, where they claim to be “making the world smell better.” If the behind the scenes video is any indication of what the trip is going to be like, we can’t wait to not only see the video but see the finished wheels for his truck. After all, once you check the team, you can see they need American Force’s help to up their status. Now, that you know about the winner, let’s find out why American Force choose Mike and how the sweepstakes went overall. We gave a shout to Nick Chin of American Force Wheels to ask him a couple of questions.

Why Mike and his truck?  “It was one of the best videos, it was very well received by viewers and a great representation of one of our typical customers,”  stated Nick.

When is the experience happening? Nick continued, “We have spoken to Mike, he is very excited about winning and coming to Miami to design and build his #dreamwheels with us. We are planning to have him come before summer is over but it will depend on his schedule and other factors.”

Anything else you want to say about the sweepstakes? Nick went on to say, “We are very appreciative to everyone who participated in the #Dreamwheels sweepstakes. This was our first annual #dreamwheels sweepstakes, while it was very successful, it wasn’t without hiccups. Next year we will make it bigger and better as we do with our products we make. As we grow and maintain our company as the premium choice brand, I think it is important to maintain a strong connection with our people. I would like to encourage our customers past, present and future to interact with us, whether through our social media channels or events like the #dreamwheels sweepstakes – We are listening.”

Well, we here at Diesel Army can’t wait to see the finished product (and of course will bring it to you when it’s completed) and will be first on the scene again next year for round 2. Tell us what you think about the winner.
