Texan Wire Wheels Roll Forward Scholarship – 2025
The Fast Facts
Why We’re Doing This
We didn’t build the first Swanga to blend in—we built it to own the lane. We’ve turned heads with elbows pokin’, candy drippin’, and wheels that refuse to quit.
Now we’re throwing that same disruptive energy behind the next generation of Houston gearheads. The Roll Forward Scholarship is our way of saying: keep pushing the culture, keep turning wrenches, and never settle for factory settings.
